[GSBN] Congratulations, John Straube

[Mark Piepkorn]

Not bad for a guy who could pass for a 22-year-old.

Besides elevating building science in both the mainstream and in more 
squirrelly realms, this guy tells some of the best/worst groaners ever.

An exemplary fellow and well deserving of this honor. I add my 
congratulations and delight.


Mark
