Chinese Kite, Folding Chairs, Lift On Where You Take The Stairs

I just got a phone call from Actors' Equity Association Western Regional Director Mary Lou Westerfield. She was calling to inform me that I have been selected by the Western Regional Stage Managers Committee, on behalf of AEA's Western Regional Board, as the recipient of the 2008 Lucy Jordan Humanitarian Award.

This is what the Equity web site says about the Award:

"The Lucy Jordan Humanitarian Award (LJHA) is the only recognition award given by the Western Regional Board of Actors' Equity Association. It was established by the Stage Managers Committee in 1992 to commemorate the unflagging spirit of former Western Region Business Field Rep, Lucy Jordan, who passed away unexpectedly in May of that year. The LJHA is given to honor any members of the extended theatrical family who go above and beyond the call of duty, who embody that spirit of show business in which we are at our best, our most unselfish, where we go to the nth degree to make the working experience magical and special. We, the Stage Managers Committee members, are delighted to see Lucy Jordan's heritage carried on by someone who shares so much of her spirit."

For once, I'm speechless.
