 "People from all over the agency are still buzzing about the learning experience we had during your visit. The excitement that you have generated among the GPO employees will go a long way in helping spread the true facts about our heritage to the children of the next generation. Thank you for all that you have given us during your visit. You are also due a special extra thank you for returning to our agency at midnight to inform our night employees. That was a tremendous sacrificial gift."

 "...thank you for your participation in the Resident Associate Program,'Blacks in the Old West.'  It proved to be both a well-attended and thoroughly insightful evening. Your time and support mean a great deal to us, as we could not offer courses of such fine academic depth and scope without this kind of cooperation.  I look forward to your continued association with the Associates,and hope we may work together in the future."

"Your talk was just right--interesting information,well presented,and tailored to the student's attention span. I also appreciated
that you talked about history as a career--there are so many options of which young people are not aware.
