The real prize is to know that someone else feels that my future is something worth investing in and it is a feeling that I find difficult to put into words. I am so honored, so thankful, so truly touched to have stood out to someone as a venture worth funding. I look forward to continuing to excel and proving that it was a decision well worth making. Thank you, thank you, thank you. Mary Carnes, History 48
