If I *am* dreaming don't anyone wake me. :)
As I mentioned on my Facebook page I'm still not sure if I'm dreaming but yesterday I learned NASA is sending me to DC to receive one of these: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NASA_Distinguished_Public_Service_Medal Looking at the list of previous recipients I see names like Sagan, Heinlein and Roddenberry. Many of you on this list who know me know I have a pretty big ego but <taking deep breath> this is a very humbling experience. pw
That's awesome. You deserve it Patrick. Congratulations. On Jul 11, 2014 2:36 AM, "Wiggins Patrick" <paw@getbeehive.net> wrote:

"Awarded for "distinguished accomplishments [that] contributed substantially to the NASA mission. The contribution must be so extraordinary that other forms of recognition would be inadequate." Did you tell them that you'd settle for a gift certificate? Seriously, well-deserved congratulations! Can us common folk still sit next to you at Denny's?

Patrick, Let me be the first to say congratulations! I am very happy for you to receive such a prestigious award, and I believe it is truly deserved. Way to go Patrick! Now for the really big question; are you going to shake the hand of the person presenting you the medal, or a fist bump? Inquiring minds wanna know!

Hi all, I started out sending individual thank yous to everyone who've sent me messages on and off list. But there are too many of you! (blush) So I hope this will suffice as a personal thank you to all of you. I really do appreciate it. A lot. Of course, I'd be remiss if I did not send out a big thank you Drs. Littmann and Mosley who got me started down this road and especially to Dr. Phaneuf who lit the fire that still burns today that really inspired me to keep with it. Again, my thanks to all! I may be making the trip to DC solo but you'll all be with me in spirit. patrick
Patrick, On the assumption that NASA doesn't give these medals to Utahns very often, it would be highly appropriate for the planetarium to issue a press statement congratulating you on this well-deserved acknowledgment of your work as an amateur astronomer and astronomy educator. When will this award be given?

Not needed. NASA is doing a release and media are already being contacted.
When will this award be given?
Next month.
Congratulations "Sir Patrick of Stansbury". Remarkable honor and well deserved. Say hello to James T Kirk for me. 73 Sent from my iPad
