Sidewalk of Smiles and Stars

On Sunday night in Los Angeles, the year's Academy Awards 

will be handed out to the hard-working people who are

employed in the motion picture industry. In addition to the

actors and actresses who form the front line of our 

consciousness, are scores of people who go unrecognized

by most of us, but who may be among the joyful

few to receive one of the golden statuettes.

While their frozen smiles will not likely make the morning news, 

and their stars will not be embedded into the sidewalk outside Grauman's

Chinese Theater, their pride will not be felt any less, 

nor their achievements diminished.

Here's to the folks who surround the stars, who get the film

onto the screen for the rest of the world to enjoy.
