“I was so struck by everything that happened related to this crazy idea of having me come back. I was struck by the effort you all put into making it happen, with the content about the musical, the flash mobs and recreating the scenes. It’s not went unnoticed, not to mention the fact that you tied the event to SixDegrees.org, our foundation, and are trying to find ways to help your community.
