Coverage of Hofsteader's Honors

Gödel, Escher, Bach was a transformative book for me. I read it in the summer before my Sr. year in college, and it inspired my Sr. Thesis, which lead (ultimately) to my area of specialization in graduate school.  On top of that, when I was writing my Sr. Thesis back in '92, when the 'net was in its infancy, I emailed Hofsteader with a question - AND HE RESPONDED!  Man, those were the good old days before spam. Searle did to, but he was quite grumpy. Hofsteader was actually helpful and pleasant. 

Anyway, all of this is by way of saying that despite the implicit criticism he recieves from AI researchers and Logic professors, I've always respected his work.  Awards such as these:

Are well deserved.  Congratulations Dr. Hofsteader.
