I have heard nothing but outstanding comments about both the interview and his keynote. He made an ever lasting impact on many. I can tell you that. Ambassador Young is the real deal. He's a humanitarian who genuinely cares about people. Please let him know that he made a difference in Modesto. He was inspiring! Ambassador Young was also a very gracious gentleman.
