Now that it’s official, I can finally tell the world that I have, on my fifteenth try (yes, I’ve been applying since 1993), been awarded a 2008 Guggenheim Foundation fellowship. While I would certainly have liked to have received one earlier, this fellowship could not have come at a time when I needed it more, as my medical bills for my cancer treatments and surgeries have been mounting at a frightening rate.
I keep looking at the list of Fellows on the Guggenheim Foundation web site to confirm that my name is still there. Sometimes the world does give one what one needs when one needs it. Just not very often…
Congratulations, Reginald!
Woohoo, Reginald!
Congratulations from Colorado, Reginald!
congratulations Reginald.
Congratulations Reginald, well timed and well deserved.
Well right-f*ckin-truckin-on-10-4 good buddy! Congrats!
congrats to you!
Hope you don’t mind my saying, Reginald,
since persistence can be a kind of prayer,
it is wonderful this
“Watch God Moment”
has happened for you.
Well-deserved! They made the right decision.
FOND CONGRATULATIONS and much, much deserved.
& I sure hope people spell your name right from now.
Reginald: What great news! Congratulations.
