    I'd tell you how proud I am... but somehow that seems condescending in such a situation. Instead, I'll say this:

    I knew ya then... And I was right.

    Congratulations and best wishes for much success!

    Edit: You have what it takes! You set a goal, were willing to put in the effort and investment to learn your chosen craft and will reap the benefits for your whole life. I can't think of a better example to set. No hint of 'entitlement',
    just a willingness to do what it takes. Good for you!!

    "Work at doing something you love and you'll never have to work a day in your life!" How true, Joey. That's great news! Cali and the TRJ will provide nothing but inspiration, and the California sunshine won't make you miss northern winters, either! CONGRATULATIONS, WELL DONE!

    p.s. Ryan, warm up your typewriter..........you're back on the Monday - Friday shift!:D

    @J.Ukrop Congratulations! That's just too cool! You're going to be right in the middle of what I consider the benchmark of auto-journalism! Best of luck to you!
     
  23. Wow! As everybody else said, CONGRATULATIONS! You obviously have a passion and talent for this biz. I had NO idea you were under 35! Your writing has always been very well polished, and articulate, while at the same time, entertaining. Something a lot of much more "mature" journalists fail at. Best of luck to you young man. Oh, one more thing. I am jealouse as hell!:D
