"Thanks for presenting such a fine, fun program here this past week. I still think I had the most fun at the show. You did a good job accommodating the variety of people who attended.
 - One of the little girls who came to your program was at my story time this morning. I was  talking about strange words that we don’t hear very often and she said “you mean words like equinox?”  She even told me what it means. She learned these things at your program. I was impressed. She’s 3 ½ years old!
   Hope you can stop in again one day..."

I volunteered to be on stage

Well, I think you're really
great! I love your shows!
Love,
