I was thrilled to win a divisional Reuben for Newspaper Illustration, and more than a bit shocked because the other two nominees, Bob Rich and Bob Sanchuk are crazy good doing fantastic work. Actually all the nominees in all the divisions deserve their award and yet it has to go to someone, so many thanks to the Southeast Chapter for the honor. All the nominees are winners, in my opinion.
