FW: [MR] Society for Categorical Awards

[Susan and Frank Downs]

Whoops!  I sent this earlier to the Lady, but meant to post it.

Yes, dear Lady, but there already _is_ a pearl, and a veritable deluge of
alphabet soup.  If the issue is that people aren't receiving awards when
they deserve them, that can be fixed without adding another layer of ABC's.
Can you imagine how long courts will become?  Can you imagine how many more
meetings people will have to sit through?  I like the awards we currently
have, but there are already an overwhelming number of meetings for many
distinguished people.  I certainly don't want anyone to slip through the
cracks, but can't we patch up the cracks without adding another wall?
