The local-lover award. But, it had nothing to do with businesses or an independent economy.

Athlete of the year. Yeah, so I went to an all girls school, but hey, it still meant something to me.

Was awarded a 10 or more 'thumbs up' count on two separate LJWorld comments.
Before that it was Phi Theta Kappa & The President's List for Academic Achievement at JCCC & before that it was an honorable discharge from the U.S. Army.

Believe me, you deserve it. The nights you held me in your arms, caressed my cheek, and told me to call you Fanny.

Most of my big awards have been self presented. However, the award I won last year for Lawrence Kansas Neighbor of the year, just stood out over all the rest. It was based on a post I put on a local article right here on LJW. I threw a big party and invited myself and my imaginary dog clifford. it was a great celebration for such great work.

My surprise induction into the Kansas Music Hall of Fame. It caught me totally off guard.

To win this award, you must be lean, mean and discreet. Not one oz. of fat, not a blockhead. Ladies and Gentlemen, Member of Seal Team 6 Award winner...

Some scholarships & departmental awards at KU--and graduation with highest distinction. I put myself through school, so that meant a lot to me.
