For Jon’s A Jolly Good ‘Fellow’

News update from here in New Orleans at the APMP conference -

Congratulations go to Jon for having been recognized by the board of APMP and given a ‘fellowship’. Jon is now among a very select few to have received this award (I think there are around 10 or so fellows* at this point.) This really is quite an honor and it is very cool that Jon has received this. When you next see Jon, do congratulate him.​
​*An interesting observation on Jon’s part is that all of the fellows, as far as we know, are indeed that, fellows, as in, men. I’m going to check and see if that’s true. We find this very interesting as the organization is not lacking for female representation and there are certainly a couple of women we can think of that we see as worthy of this distinction.

On a side note – I do hope this doesn’t mean we have to hence forth refer to Jon as ‘sir’ – and that Jon doesn’t start using terms like ‘hence forth’ and ‘my good man’. And, while he was obviously surprised, and truly flattered, by having been selected, I also think he was a bit disappointed that the awarding of this honor didn’t involve a sword being tapped on both shoulder and such.)

Thanks for the kind words. I really was deeply flattered to be honoured by the Association in this way, and am touched by kind comments I’ve had from friends, here and by email.

Sir Jon
