>It was my great pleasure to announce at Southwest Fox 2010 the recipients of the 2010 Lifetime Achievement Award: Lisa Slater Nicholls and Rick Schummer. You can read their profiles at http://fox.wikis.com/wc.dll?Wiki~FoxProCommunityLifetimeAchievementAward~VFP. Hopefully we'll have some video uploaded soon that shows them receiving their awards; check http://www.swfox.net/videos.aspx.

Thanks to everyone for the kind remarks here, and to those who nominated me and for the selection committee for the award. I have a blog post half written about the award and being speechless. I wrote it while I was taking some time to rest and relax after Southwest Fox. Today was my first day back in the office after 10 days and as one can imagine, playing catch up with the customers. I have video of the closing session and will get that posted in the next week. Lisa's acceptance video is cool and Doug's selection of video almost played is priceless.

And John... I did not have to pay for the award. Doug picked it up this year so the surprise would not be ruined. I am still committed to paying for the ones awarded in the future though. {g}
