"What a great job you did at the TEC Conference last Friday! I have had several very positive comments about your presentation. One individual said 'I wish we had three hours with that wonderful voice, all that experience, and that wisdom!' Another said 'What a great story teller, I could listen to him all day. The hour went by much too fast.' You are indeed, the great communicator! It was memorable experience meeting you and having the honor of introducing the best speaker for our 2001 Conference."

--Bill Hopf, TEC
