I received in the mail my 5-year award from the University of California. It's a small gold lapel pin that says University of California on it with an open-faced book. The pin comes in a small jewel box, the inside of which says HR - Herndon Recognition Company. The pin came with a preprinted card with the preprinted signature of our chancellor, J. Michael Bishop, MD. I am looking forward to my 10-year service award. Evening run: 10 minutes. Weight training: plank. Yoga: downward facing dog.
