Definitely congratulations to the winners, as well as the nominees. I'm glad I didn't have to select a winner from those groups - they would have all won.

Thanks for reporting on this, Kaye! Exciting news for people at the University of Saskatchewan. Alan Bradley (Sweetness at the Bottom of the Pie) spent over 30 years as our colleague until he retired - and decided to become famous.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations to all the winners!
