> Dear Friends:

> I had house guests last night, so have only now had the chance to read 
> your many kind emails. Wow, what a response! As Greg wrote to me, 
> privately, "The List has spoken."
> 
> When Steve and I came up with the idea of the Harveys, quite some years 
> ago now, we decided that we, ourselves, would not be eligible. It would 
> be tacky to give ourselves an award, right?  : )
> 
> However, we dare not ignore the wishes of our friends and peers. I have 
> spoke to Steve, and we will gratefully receive the People's Award this 
> year. I have not yet spoken with Phil, but I certainly hope he will 
> concur, and it is certainly well deserved. As well as being the person

> made a truly Herculean behind-the-scenes effort to bring the big 
> Brenham to Tucson, so that many of you good folks will have the 
> pleasure of visiting with it in person. Phil is too modest a fellow to 
> tell you this himself.

> Steve is on the road, at the moment, which is why he hasn't had a 
> chance to reply.

> So, Greg and I will figure out a way to do this. Thank you all for your 
> support and good wishes, both of which mean a great deal to us!
> 
> I have one request/suggestion: let's make the People's Choice an annual 
> event, so that each year, you can all vote for some deserving person(s) 
> for a Harvey.
> 
> Thank you again, and I am looking forward to seeing many of you here in 
> sunny Tucson, this week and next week.
