A number of weeks ago I received an email from the Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation's (GLAAD's) Nick Adams.

For the 19th Annual GLAAD Media Awards in 2008, Christine Daniels was nominated for Outstanding Newspaper Columnist. She actually was the winner in that category that year, but she never claimed the award -- GLAAD still had the award statue they would have presented to Christine on stage.

Nick asked me if I would like to have it -- he wrote me that the award should be with someone who knew Christine and valued her friendship.
