I have been receiving a few calls and emails from friends here in Colorado about a photo and caption of my wife and I that ran in yesterday's Denver Post (our largest newspaper here in Colorado).  I have been encouraged to post the story to my blog.

Last week, I was humbled to have been recognized by the University of Denver for their Community Service Award.  Each year, the University celebrates the achievements and contributions of five Alumni who are recognized for different distinctions.  These alumni are selected by the Chancellor of the University, and their contributions are recognized at an event that commemorates the founding of the University.  The award recipients are added to the Alumni Wall of Honor at the Leo Block Alumni Center on the university campus. 

I would like to thank the University of Denver for this great honor, and I would like to thank those in my life who helped me to understand the importance of giving back. 

I have included a link from the University of Denver's website that has a brief story and video clip about my efforts.
