Summary :
I first received notice that I had been chosen for this award in a letter ... which I opened during a staff meeting. I scanned the letter, reading quickly, and didn’t take it seriously. I thought it was a message saying something equivalent to “I had won some land in Florida.” But as the meeting dragged on, I reread the letter and clearly understood what it was saying. To be honored by the people who directly benefit from the lobbying efforts is better than winning land.
