Thanks Around The Horn
I didn’t personally thank those of you who commented on the previous post (about news of the award) but please don’t take my silence personally. I am sincerely grateful for your kind words and your congratulations. One thing I’ve found is that winning such an award makes me think — again — of how much help I have received. From researchers. Historians. Librarians. Archivists. Writers. Editors. Readers. Friends. Family. It’s staggering, really, how much assistance I have gotten in the years since I signed the contract through about five minutes ago. And I needed every helping hand I got. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
