[Fredslist] Wow - Congratulations! and May I Add

[Sherry Rivera]

Kelly I second that.  I am sure it is heartwarming to be recognized for the
efforts made on behalf of so many.  Norm has been such an important part of
Gotham for years and I am so happy for him for this public acknowledgement
of his efforts.  He gives wherever he can, he smiles, he shares, he talks,
he jokes so much of the Gotham spirit, so much of what we all appreciate at
Gotham.

Lucas Congratulations to you as well as we Gothamites appreciate your
efforts and your "being in our midst" showing us the way of "It is better
to give than receive" .

AND Special Congratulations to Paul Napolitano for his Jeffrey Crowther
award.  It is WELL deserved.  I was so touched by his reaction which is all
the more reason he deserved it.  He is a VERY GIVING person and I am hoping
it is coming back to him as I think it is.

CONGRATULATIONS to all of us Gothamites for being part of and contributing
to such a wonderful FAMILY so well displayed yesterday.  I think our PAPA
Fred was proud as I saw him "Kvelling".

Thanks to all who worked so hard to put last night together!
