I wonder if I am one of the "researchers working on cutting-edge technology" or "professors who push the envelope of academic endeavors" referred to by STONE COLD and Priya Bharadwaj. If so, let me just say that Kelly Bowling and LaShawn Williams are absolutely right -someone like Diane Connor is far more deserving of the recognition by Towerview than someone like me.
The recognition of Connor's contributions is, in fact, a richly-deserved recognition of the contributions of the many Duke employees who toil in anonymity (and often put up with "crappy" comments) to make a Duke a better place.
