The Stars Align

Tblzer I was honored yesterday to receive the Wisconsin Tourism Trailblazer Award for Lifetime Achievement. Given the honorees that have come before me...I am truly humbled. Thank you to whoever submitted my name...and thank you to everyone else that couldn't come up with a more deserving candidate.

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...

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

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!
