I'm in a state of shock


I've known for a couple of weeks I'm up for an award for raising funds on the DU. It will be several months before they select a winner.

Now the shocker. I'm up for a national LABOR award. We will know by Labor Day IF I win or not.

Stay tuned. You will be the first friends I tell.

I was in the teachers Union in PA. (PSEA) It is amazing what they do for PA teachers. Unions are the backbone of this country. Thanks for all that you do.
