Sorry if I came across as saying the others were less than outstanding individuals. I should have completed my original comments or not used the quote and comment that I agreed. My bad.

That is on the board and the people that made the decision, not everyone that received the same award in the past and certainly not everyone in the future. I guess I do not have enough information to be satisfied to have such a strong opinion either way. People make mistakes and decisions were made to correct those mistakes. I bet there were people that did not even know he was a convicted sex offender or the history.
