My husband, daughter and son-in-law are active in the Civil Air Patrol, the auxiliary of the Air Force. Recently they all attended a state conference, where my daughter told me her father would be receiving an award. The evening of the banquet, my husband called home, and I asked how it was going. “Oh, pretty good,” he said, and we chatted about it. I wondered why he didn’t say anything about the award, but, fearing that he hadn’t gotten it after all. I didn’t mention it. When he returned home, he said very little except that everything had gone quite well. “So, did anything special happen?” I prodded, wondering if I should just come out and ask him about the award. Finally he produced a plaque from his bag. On it was inscribed: “Communicator of the Year.”
