>In addition, I have been awarded the Ralph J. Gleason award for 2002!!
> I am very humbled, and I have to really say that the award goes to the
>American Folklife Center as a team. To quote the Rex website . . ."The
>Rex Foundation established the Ralph J. Gleason Award in 1986 for
>outstanding contributions to culture. The award is named in memory of
>the pioneering jazz and pop music journalist Ralph J. Gleason
>(1917-1975) who was a major figure in the advancement of creative music
>in America." Past recipients of the award have been Sun Ra, Pete
>Seeger, Ralph Stanley, Los Lobos and others.

>SAVE THE DATE: Mickey Hart will be making an announcement about these
>two items of good news at our December 3rd event here at the LC to
>celebrate the History Channel's documentary on Save Our Sounds. You
>should have received an invitation in the mail to attend this gala event
>and we hope that you will be joining us. Please give us a call if you
>have any questions, or if you did not receive your invitation. This
>event is co-sponsored by the American Folklife Center, the Center for
>Arts & Culture, the History Channel, and the Smithsonian's Center for
>Folklife and Ethnography.

>In the meantime, we will be sending out a mailing on Monday with items
