R. Rich Posted March 16, 2005 Share Posted March 16, 2005 My brother and a co-worker have won 2nd place in a national news award competition. I know I'm not the wordsmith he is, but I did put a new entry into my blog about it. Well done!

I could be wrong, but he's never really looked too kindly on TV and radio news. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R. Rich Posted March 16, 2005 Author Share Posted March 16, 2005 Yeah, it does. He's one heck of a reporter. He's been offered jobs in other places before, but he says he won't leave until he gets an offer that will allow him to do the kind of work he's doing now. He's not leaving just to go to a larger paper and start over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your admiration and pride show through. Wonderful award for your entire family. 276237[/snapback] Thanks, but I can't even try to take any credit. It really is all his. I'm just hoping I can attend the banquet for the award, which is in Atlantic City. I'm not sure if it's open to the public or not, but if it is, I'm there. When my Mother became a member of the SES (Senior Executive Service) at Social Security, there weren't any family members allowed to that ceremony, but since it was at the White House and was conducted by then-VP Al Gore, I guess there were security concerns. Even though there are a number of high profile media people who are getting awards, I wouldn't think that security would be so much an issue that the public, especially family members of the honorees, aren't allowed to attend.

If not, find the largest waiter's outfit that you can and sneak in. It warmed my heart to read hogboy's comments in your blog. He does have a heart after all.
