"On behalf of my colleagues and students at Rocky Hill School, I should just like to take a moment to express my gratitude and appreciation to you. I am aware of your busy schedule, and therefore I was thrilled and delighted that you were able to find time to come out and speak with our group. I also know that much of your time is taken up in addressing university student bodies and adult seminars. I felt humbled that you could share some of your experiences with us." "This conference was extraordinarily productive in that it brought together such a large number of Russians and Americans who participated in this epic maritime struggle to reconsider the history and its lessons for the future. There was a strong consensus among participants that this dialogue was valuable and must continue, and it is certainly our wish that this be the case." "With this letter I would like to take a moment to thank you for your visit to Washington University in March. I cannot fully express how we appreciated you taking your time and coming to St. Louis. Your lecture was a remarkable success with many people expressing their delight afterward. The topic was very relevant and without a doubt stirred up discussion on campus."
