Thanks to Susan Wehe for arranging the presentation by “Birds Of the World.” Not only were the birds, pictures, and videos thrilling, the message was right on target for Thunderduck students and colleagues. I learned more than in many agonizing hours of graduate school!

I spent this past weekend golfing with my friend, Tonya Settles, who is the HR Director at the Hilton at Lincoln Center. She asked if I knew you and then sang your praises regarding the Career Fair. She was very pleased with how well organized you are in planning the event especially in providing lots of timely info, details and reminders. Just wanted to share that positive feedback from one of your customers!

Thank you so much for your help in our efforts to publicize the RCHS students honored by the National Merit and National Achievement Scholarship Programs. We truly could not have done it without you. I know this doesn’t necessarily fit into your typical job description… except maybe under “other duties as assigned!” We can’t do our job to tell RLC/RCHS’ story without help from T-ducks like you so again, thanks.

Many thanks for providing your MBTI workshop for the Health Professions staff. Knowing that the Meyers Briggs Type Indicator is a psychologically sound instrument and that our types may change over time, I felt that it would be a good instrument to help us better appreciate the preferences of our co-workers in areas that can be challenging to a small work group. I certainly encourage other work groups to invite you to present your workshop — even if the staff members have taken the MBTI in the past. Your warm manner and lively style made it most enjoyable for us!

I don’t know if you remember this little Mexican from Laredo, Texas, but I was one of your former students in 1974. Yes, 1974 at Richland. My name is Mario Garcia. I went to Richland to play baseball for you but I came back home for personal reasons and never went back. Coach, but I do remember taking class with you and also playing intramural flag football on your team. My niece is enrolled at Richland and she told me you were still there. I just wanted to say hi and thank you for the way you treated me. I will never forget! You made a big impact in my life. Even though I was there for only one semester, I have fond memories of Richland. I am currently beginning my 31st year in education. I am a health education teacher and the head baseball coach at Alexander High School in Laredo. Thanks again and I hope to find you in good health.
