I’d like some proof I really do know you in case my honesty is questioned. I’ve included a copy of the news article from your presentation at our safety banquet. Hope you enjoy it. Thanks for continuing to include me in your distribution of articles. I enjoy reading them."
Dennis Newell, Titusville, FL

Thank you very much for the copy of The Bridge Never Crossed. What a remarkable story! You have made a real contribution to al the people with disabilities and indeed their friends and caregivers by recording your observations in this way. I read the book while we were on a recent trip flying to visit our grandchildren in England, but was not unduly anxious for our safety! I can think of several audiences with whom I wish you could share your story. Again, thank you very much for sharing the book. My very best wishes."
David R. Sanderson, M.D. Division of Thoracic Disease and Critical Care Medicine, Mayo Clinic Scottsdale

Jim Philp, Fire Marshal Lumberton, Volunteer, Fire and Rescue

"I can't thank you enough for coming to speak to my Human Relations class. Reading your biography to my class of Freshman and Sophomores and seeing their reaction motivated me to contact you to speak to my class in person. With the world events of today, and especially what is happening to our nation, I needed a speaker to both humble and motivate my class. You were able to not only do that, but more importantly you inspired my class."
Erin Dyer, North Canyon High School, Family and Consumer Science

"I am very happy to tell others that I have had the good fortune to meet and talk with you. I purchased one of your books after your talk at the State Fireman's' and Fire Marshals' Association Convention, in McAllen, Texas this past June. This was the second opportunity to hear you speak. You are one of the most inspirational speaker I have ever heard. After reading your Bridge book, I ordered two more for a couple of very good friends. Thank you for being such a wonderful inspiration, and for never failing to give Our Lord the credit He is due."
Rick Frerich, President of Cameron Gardens, Volunteer, Fire Department, Wichita County, TX
