Who Knew?

Who knew that a year and a half after ending work at ABC, I and a group of fellow ABCers could win an Emmy for the work we did there? (Multiple Camera Editing for a Drama Series).
 

Who knew that a group of people, scattered for a long time, could rally as a team to go for a nomination and in the end, come home with a win?
 

Who knew that a kid who grew up thinking how great it would be to have one of those cool gold statues would now have four of them?
 

Who knew that a college student who would likely not have had the focus for psychology graduate school and got lucky enough to land an entry level TV job would still be working in TV (well, at the moment, Internet TV) twenty-five years later? (Thank you, Paul Rauch, Charlotte Weil, Lisa De Cazotte, Michael Schnessel, Larry Auerbach, and all the other people--way too numerous to mention--who believed in me all those years ago).
 

Who knew that it would still be exciting, not just to win those statues, but to be a part of telling stories and collaborating with creative people?
 

Who knew that when looking back on my career so far, I would have so many, many people with whom I have shared it?
 

Who knew that I would continue to cross paths with so many of these people, in new places, new situations, new contexts?
 

And who knew that the news of an Emmy would prompt quite so many "Who knew's"?
