I was on the Princess cruise with you in January… To say that I was on pins and needles during each talk is an understatement. Your vision of our space missions is unique and enlightening and truly made me proud to be an American.

Thank you for your talks. Thanks for sharing. Thanks for giving all of us a chance to swell our chests and take pride in our country and our contributions to the world, both in general and in scientific advancement. Perhaps you will be on another cruise we take. One can only hope.
Bob: Hampton, Virginia

I just think "your successes" reflect back on you, your presentation, the effect you have on large numbers of people. You convey positiveness, humility and believable intelligence. You are a terrific speaker and will excel at teaching, the ministry or any public interaction with people. I believe that you are genuine in what you present as a person as well as the content you are sharing. I wish we could get you enough exposure to get you on Public TV or some other national TV forum.

The reason I am offering to build a website for you for no cost to you is that I was so impressed by your presentations, where you are going and what you are doing after your Princess contract, that I feel it would be a privilege to be on your "team". John: MN/AZ

I appreciated the way you so freely shared your knowledge of the space program and the wisdom that you have gained from your leadership roles at the space center. Because you are such a gifted communicator, I can imagine that you are a very sought-after speaker to all ages

I was on the Princess Coral for the voyage from Fort Lauderdale, Florida to Los Angeles, California. I wanted to take a moment to tell you how much I enjoyed your presentations. Not only were they informative, they were also inspiring.

I wanted to let you know you really made a difference for me on that cruise. Your presentations were very thought provoking, insightful, emotional, and educational. Overall they were a great addition to my vacation and much appreciated!

I found your lectures engaging, informative, exciting and inspirational. In fact, since returning home I have been sharing several of your tips with both my colleagues and students (many of whom are both highly gifted and have learning disabilities).
Beth: Los Angeles

I attended all the lectures and I REALLY enjoyed listening to your stories and insights on management… I was energized to come back and start applying some of your 52 Tips.

Thank you again for those inspiring and memorable hours in the Universe Theater, fitting location for the subject matter.

My wife and I want to extend our sincere appreciation for the (7) sessions you conducted on our recent cruise.

Your presentations were informative, heart warming , and a true highlight of the Panama Canal cruise. Keep up the good work.

When it comes to explaining the Wonders of the Space Program, YOU are the perfect person.
