My friend Gary Knowles posted this picture on my Facebook Wall...which started the cascade of congratulations from across the country. But I had to love the comment from my buddy Jim Epperson (of the Harrison County IN CVB), who said that Bill Samuels (of Maker's Mark) just received the Louisville CVB's Lifetime Achievement Award on Wednesday.
Dude, that's what I drink.
Coincidence? I think not...


Congratulations Bill! Well deserved.

Funny, how do you think I know that's what you drink . . . ?

Right on! (Insert hearty whoo-hoo here)

Don't you have to be older to win these kinds of awards? With all the great things yet to come from you, they'll have to create another form of recognition. Congrats, Bill!
