**carolyn137** · October 7, 2016

Craig, I was here earlier today but left pretty much ASAP b/c you know I have a deadline to get my tax stuff to my tax man in just a few days,based on my 6 mo extension.I know it's all here in this room,but I don 't know exactly where.

All to say Congratulations, felicitations and well done.

Lets's go back to the late 80's when we first met,via SSE,and outside of my own farmer father you are the longest running tomato friend and all around friend,for almost 30 years now.

Back then would either of us thought we would have award winning books,I don't think it ever entered our minds. Yes,my book also won awards as well,all I remember was for writing and photography done by Frank Iannotti, as well as book design.

Of course I'm much older than you are,now 77, and I know there are still many more books you want to write,and will do,but as for me,no,no more books,no more magazine articles I will write,just being here at Tville amongst gardening friends is enough for me.

So again,I am really happy for you for this award,so carry on since last I knew you have lots more time since you just turned 40.
