Tom,

I talked to Peter right after I saw the posting to the Boblist, and Peter knew nothing about it. He thinks he may know the author of this spoof. Pete's a very good freind and great guy so he gets his own personal kudos from myself and others who know him well.

It has been reported on the IBOB List that our own Peter Koskinen has won the prestigious  Emma Lazarus Statue of  Liberty Award.   I have no way of confirming this, but the post goes on to say that "The Emma Lazarus Statue of Liberty Award is given to an American who

I can say that Peter sure has made Cirque a lot more interesting in recent years, and is a really fun guy.

Perhaps someone knows just what Peter's contribution that he was awarded this for might be?  Again, I am merely passing this information on and have no other confirmation of it. I am hoping that it is not a put on of some sort.
