    Yes!! JC – congrats! I can only assume your ‘Family Matters’ story “What We Can” is an homage to the family community here at FWR? In which case you’ll split the $1,200 amongst the commenters herein?

    Seriously, congrats. Nobody more deserving.

    P.S. Jeremy, I LOVED your essay “Workshop Is Not For You” (linked from the Glimmer Train e-newsletter announcing your win!). Every student in a workshop should have to read it.
