This is such a great honor-and yes it means a great deal to me-so much It's hard to put into words. When I was a kid I would say "I"m going to make it big before I'm 40." Well, thanks to you "Who's Who in America-I have made it super big. I am in a great publication. Wow! To be listed among the great achievers and contributors is truly an honor.
I thank my Mom, my grandpa-Charles August ( whose middle name was my birth month-and my middle name is his mother's) I thank Jim Carrey who has made me laugh at times when I thought I lost the ability(and he should win the Oscar for Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind), and most of all I thank THE NATIONAL ATAXIA FOUNDATION for giving me hope.

I still can' believe it

I got so lucky. I totally didn't expect this. What an honor. This is a dream come true. I am still pinching myself, and I have read the acceptance letter maybe 2 dozen times, now. Alert the press-I'M HERE. Wow! I am smiling a lot. Wow! My id (of the id, ego, and suerego-psychology stuff) is bouncing all over the room. YIPEE1 This is over the moon great! What a great birthday gift.
