Indiana University Southeast Distinguished Alumni award goes to Jerry Finn.

Darn ... I lost out again; that's 29 straight times.

On the other hand, there's the old Groucho Marx line: "I don't care to belong to any club that will have me as a member".

Jerry Finn wins distinguished alumni award; IU Southeast recognizes Horseshoe director for work with youth, philanthropy, by Jerod Clapp (N and T)

... Finn said he was overwhelmed to learn he won the award, noting he didn’t feel like he had done anything beyond what others are called to do, but he’s glad to find ways to make a difference in the lives of young people.

“Old folks like me are already set in our ways, but young people have such a passion and idealism about them,” Finn said. “They’re at a point in their life where they feel like they can take on any issue and make a difference. Anything we can do as a community to harness that energy and passion is beneficial to everyone.”

I dunno, Roger, perhaps it's time to stop counting the years. (vbg)
