>> Hi Ms Scott-Coe:
>>
>> I write to let you know that Mike Steinberg (our judge) has  
>> selected your essay "Recovering Teacher" as the winner of the 2009  
>> Donald Murray Prize. He wrote in his email to me "The winning  
>> essay, "Recovering Teacher," was the most compelling, thought  
>> provoking, and human of the bunch. Both characters, the narrator  
>> and the teacher she's writing about, are fully realized,  
>> dimensional human beings. On one level, it's a personal essay about  
>> teaching and about a maverick teacher. But it's also a meditation  
>> on larger human subjects."  (He will write something fuller for me  
>> to read at the award ceremony.) If you by chance are going to be at  
>> the upcoming CCCC convention in Louisville, you can hear your  
>> praises there and receive your check for $500.00. If you can't be  
>> there, please give me your address, and I will mail you your well- 
>> deserved check.
>>
>> Warmly,
>>
>> John Boe
