Congratulations Ted. Respected by your students, admired by your colleagues and now esteemed by your peers with this award. Good things happen to good people.
I'm humbled and honored. It's overwhelming when all of the hard work pays off in such a way. I'm blessed to have a job that I love, and I was blessed to meet Lynn.
None of this would have been possible without Lynn Blake (Mentor of the Year) and the letters to the committee from all of you. I know that they were impressed by the thoughtfulness found in those letters.
The award is nice, but the letters and the people behind them are the trophies.
