Tom offered this
perspective on awards:
"I have a long way to go, because
I know what I am capable of.
Being accepted, and in some cases
receiving a top honor is validation
that I am on the right path. I am
very excited about where my work
is heading, and how it is progressing
The personal challenge is to see
where I can take things from here."
