Congratulations, Rich. This is indeed a well deserved honor for you, and a good day for accessibility. And, I believe I'm correct that you're the only Distinguished Engineer with a specialization in accessibility among all the corporations who use this distinctive designation? Perhaps I'm wrong, but I know there aren't many like you.
