Take Pride In America Award
Greetings : I was very honored in accepting the "Take Pride In America Award " along with Erik Denson and Dr. Jose' Jones. I had a speech prepared ,unfortunately they would not allow me to speak. We must say a thank you to Gail Swanson who wrote the book The Guerrero that inspired Karuna Eberl to produce and direct the documentary "The Guerrero Project". I met Brenda Lanzendorf because of that documentary.
Even though DWP was Brenda's and my idea there are several people who deserve a lot of credit . Erik Denson ,Rod Singleton and Erly Thornton III who have been there from the very beginning. Lydia Locke who was involved with DWP from the beginning she also designed the DWP logo. Michele Roberts who took on all of the DWP administrative work this past year. Dr Jose' Jones who made sure that DWP came under the NABS science committee, Jimmie Mack who has turned out to be our official photographer and Bill Murrain for all his support. Last but not least all of the DWPERS who contributed to this award , DWP would not have won it with out you . For me personally i want to thank the TAP family for all of their support. Ken Stewart
