A special thanks to my research partner Dr J. Jeannette Lovern for her kind nomination, and for proclaiming me "the hardest working scholar in rock and roll."
As one who is still new to this tenure-track thing, I have to say it's been a busy year and there are a lot of folks to thank.

Richard,
Congratulations. You've been energetic, and this looks like a very nice reward.
Thanks Richard.
It is very gracious of you to say so.
Richard
Dear Dr. Day,
To be honest, I'm torn on the issue of self promotion. I have difficulty doing it in a district whose mantra is "It's about Kids." This might have something to do with the fact that I watched the shameless self promotion of our former CEO for the past six years, wincing as he won award after award as I looked at a teaching staff that was increasingly becoming overburdened with "teaching to the test," and realizing that even a teacher who filed a civil rights complaint could be escorted from the school by security personnel.
Thos comments aside, your list of publications gives proof that you are, in addition to a teacher, advisor, and discussion board moderator, an active scholar. I say keep it up. I don't always like what you have to say, but I know you are not the kind of man who uses this column for personal gain. And I know you were never a principal your staff was afraid of.
