>>Congratulations to Ceil SIlver and Emerson (last namne-appellido?) from Brazil for their contributions to the Fox community.

>>Ceil Silver was not from Brazil. She passed away in January of this year after losing her battle with melanoma. Emerson was able to attend the conference because Tamar, Rick and Doug established the Ceil Silver Ambassador fund to in her honor.

>I read the original message from Tamar and I believe it was planned for somebody else to receive that award (I would not mention who). I believe Emerson Reed came then.

Cesar Chalom was originally selected as this year's ambassador, but he turned out to be unable to attend the conference. So Emerson was selected as his replacement.

>BTW, I didn't catch who was that lady - she looked a bit like Bonnie, IMHO. Who is she?
