Remember the "How We Met" contest? WE WON!

Post by brewerpaul »

A while back I posted about an entry I made in the Albany Times Union's "How We Met" contest. Charlene and I became one of three finalist couples and tonight we found out that we won!

The winner's were announced from the stage at a concert at Saratoga Performing Arts Center. All three finalist couples were given excellent tickets, admission to the VIP tent beforehand for snacks and beverages. Tonight's concert was all American songs featuring Marvin Hamlisch playing, conducting and sharing personal reminiscences . His "backup band" was the Philadelphia Orchestra-- not too shabby.

Our winner's packet said that over 600 votes were cast, and that we received well over half of those. I'm sure that more than a few of those came from our friends here, and we wholeheartedly thank you all.

Sounds to me like you ALL won, but it's good to get a prize, too.
And now there was no doubt that the trees were really moving - moving in and out through one another as if in a complicated country dance. ('And I suppose,' thought Lucy, 'when trees dance, it must be a very, very country dance indeed.')

Congratulations from us too! I was just wondering about that, yesterday! Well done, both of you! Of course, you already have the biggest and best prize, but a little extra is always welcome!
