An early morning DR Elmore!
Hello, DRTomovoz! Yes, it is. I'm still working on Faith Prince's chart, so I dragged my body out of bed around 5:20 am or so. I have a long day. This is the second tuesday of the month, so tonight's my music librarian dinner at the Sazerac, and I've got a day of BABES IN TOYLAND and Chicago Humanities Festival.
TOD: Prizes? I've always felt rather unlucky, but I realize I haven't done too badly:
1. Halloween, around 1956: I won a pass for 10 free movies at the Paramount Theatre, but I cannot remember if the prize was for costume or a lottery.
2. Halloween, around 1958: art contest to paint a Halloween scene on merchants' windows in downtown Middletown, OH. There were around 50 winners. I painted a realtor's window, as I recall, on Central Avenue.
3. March 1965: I won the Miami University Bookstore Award for a paper on the problems of translating Greek and Latin into English. The prize was the Oxford English Dictionary.
4. May 1985, Stephen Sondheim won the Pulitzer Prize; I nominated him.
