I received an early Christmas present with a letter from Earl Beauchamp telling me that I had won Master Editor for the Brass-Nickel newlstter On The Road, Again!. What a privilege to win. The competition is getting better each year.

I'm jealous, Judy.

Wait! WAIT! The wife said I got a letter "yesterday" from Earl Beauchamp. What!
Yesterday????? YESTERDAY!!!!!!!!

Wife says, "It's just a letter from Earl!" I threw it in with the "bills"! WHAT!!??

"It says Earl D. Beauchamp, NATIONAL DIRECTOR!" on the return address.

Geez, Going to have to enlighten that woman about the AACA and National Directors.

Ok, in Gloria's defense, Earl did a great job of sending "the letters" early this year... MERRY CHRISTMAS Master Editors.

I digress though, my "LETTER" did come in yesterday. Thanks AACA. These things may seem small in our world today, but believe me they are big to the recipients.

PS~Judy, I need you to contact me!

Wayne,

I thought you taught Gloria better than that. This time of year, any official letters from National, and particularly the Vice President of Publications or Internet Committee - go on top of the pile on top of the bills.

Congratulations!!

Thanks Judy, We all have our "crosses" to bear! <img src="http://forums.aaca.org/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://forums.aaca.org/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Judy and Wayne,

Congratulations on your ME's. They are definately an honor to receive and you deserve them. Will see you both in Philadelphia!

Ok folks, Bruce is being a little modest here. He also received his "letter" this week too.

Congradulations Bruce. I've watched your newsletter improve the last three years so I know why you received another ME. <img src="http://forums.aaca.org/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

I am delighted to announce to the world that I have received the coveted "letter"!

Editing the Smoky Mountain Antiquer for the East Tennessee Region has been a wonderful experience during the past 3 1/2 years, for my wife, Jan, and me. The notification that I have been selected to receive a National Award is the icing on the cake!

Thank you, Mr. Beauchamp and all the members of the Publications Committee. We are honored!

Congratulations! I believe this is your first ME? Great job.

Wayne

Congratulations Roger!

Hope that you and Jan can make it to the Annual Meeting to personally receive it and meet some of the other editors. Its an experience!

Right now, we are planning on being there. I do hope we can make it, so we can meet you and the other editors.

Great going guys! I'm excited for y'all.
