Delighted to hear it -- if anyone deserves an award it is he.
But, I have a question: What is the Lucie Award and who pays for it? Looking at their list of previous winners, I'm pretty much unimpressed with their pickers.

Is Artie Van Blarcum the presenter?

From www.Lucies.org:

The Lucie Awards is the premiere annual event honoring the greatest achievements in photography. The photography community from around the globe pays tribute to the most outstanding people in the field. Each year, the Lucie Advisory Board nominates deserving individuals across a variety of categories. Once these nominations have been received, an honoree in each category is selected.

The honorees are presented with the Lucie statue during a spectacular evening at the Lucie Awards gala ceremony in New York.

The Lucie Awards is the signature program of Lucie Foundation.

Take a look at the website. There are a number of photographers being honored including Jerry Uelsmann, Danny Lyon, George Tice and David Hume Kennerly. Each is awarded in a separate category.
