I was very humbled by the award!
.........And it was especially refreshing to talk at the dinner table with my award presenter - Gloria Steinem - an all-time favorite of mine. Also, I got to shake Jane Fonda's hand - another legend. Gloria was particularly great to talk with about her interest in the environment and she saw eye-to-eye with me about Global Warming and the acid bleaching of the world's coral reefs by EXCESS man-made CO2. The night was a great reward for my exhaustive work with Euphemisms and particularly for introducing their definition into the curriculum of the early grades.

Have no respect for anyone who would shake the hand of hanoi jane. She should have been tried and executed for treason, giving aid and comfort to our enemy.
