“I just wanted to drop you a brief note to again thank you for the marvelous presentation that you did for our student-athletes. As I indicated that night, in 13 years of doing educational programming for our teams, I have never seen such devoted attention and respect as they gave you. What you had to say to our kids and the way you said it was precisely what I was hoping our athletes would hear.”
