I'm guessing it would be the REASON they changed their minds about presenting the award to this guy...I can't honestly see a group holding back an award for volunteering simply due to refusing to shake hands...there MUST have been more to it...perhaps there are bad feelings between the two people involved...who knows...perhaps something came out about the guy who was due to receive the award, that they didn't want to embarrass him with publically...could be anything.

Grant me the senility to forget the people I never liked,the good fortune to run into the ones I do,and the eyesight to tell the difference.
