Congratulations, John, I evaluate your work highly!
What are those foreign words under your name:
"Que sort-il de la bouche est plus important que ce qu'entre dans lui" mean?

Thanks for the congrats Linda, Mischa, Claudmir and SB,

It is with a large portion of humility and gratitude that I take all of your acknowledgements. Thank you.

And, SB, for the quote after my name, it is roughly translated to "It is more important what comes out of my mouth than what goes in." I heard that in church one day early in my 20's and I have never forgotten it. I had noticed others had posted quotes and I wanted to emulate them.

I may be guilty of putting people on a pedestal but if I didn't whom would I look up to?

Thank you, Tom,

You are aware of my start and some of my struggles and I have always appreciated your helpful advice and experience. I hope you don't mind me dropping your name but I do credit you not only here but in many conversations I have regarding my path. Your "you've got it" meant a lot to me.

Thanks for the acknowledgement.

Couldn't have happened to a nicer guy!

Congratulations John,

You've come a long way since you showed up at my Greensboro critique session. Wow! You've overcome far more than your fair share of obstacles; most people would have simply wilted, but not you. I am so proud to know you and am honored and flattered by your kind words on my behalf.

My friend, you deserve all the success in the world and more!

Bravo John!

Marvin and Tom are two great teachers/mentors and you get a lot of the credit too - well lots and lots and lots!

Way to go! Hard work certainly pays off
Beth
