"In late April, I had the opportunity to use your tips and wisdom in a’back to the wall’ career situation. You will never know how helpful and supportive your words were. You spoke to basic truths that we must all be prepared to deal with at any moment. I have bounced back stronger and wiser and remembered your words when I faced those defining moments. I wanted you to know how very much your willingness to share your wisdom helped. I will ‘pass it on’ when I have the opportunity."
