aloha Don. a very awesome list. congratulations just being on this lost. aloha.
Sure glad I don't have to judge. But glad for the list... new books on my reading wish list. Good wishes, for sure.
Congratulations again and good luck. It is wonderful of the foundation to offer this prize. (FYI I have a short piece in Dreams Wander On. Robert put together a fine book there.)
I'm sure it will be a difficult choice for the foundation to make. Great and informative entry, Don.
Thanks, Rick.
Touché, Merrill. Some fine, fine work, indeed.
Theresa, thanks ... and I know about "Dreams" -
