Cool beans. :-) Although that "commendable work experience" makes me smile. Work is the horse, going back to school was the cart. :-)

You deserve the honor, er, but TDG's line was funny.
 
Were you the ONLY graduate student at this particular liberal arts college in this particular year?
 
Congrats, again! Gonna need to build yourself a "trophy" case at this rate! :)
 
Whoo hoo!
 
I know you worked hard; I'm glad others recognized it also.
