The day after your presentation I was out in the Detroit metropolitan area running errands and doing some last minute holiday shopping. As a result of the contagious enthusiasm that you spread the prior day, I made it a point to go out of my way to make conversation with others in the attempt to have each of us go our separate ways having been made a better person because of our encounter! I ended up having the most delightful day and met a lot of interesting people. Most conversations lasted only a few seconds as we passed in the grocery aisle. One lively conversation lasted over ten minutes as we waited in line at a crowded department store. Each and every contact I had was happy and upbeat as we "shared good news!" And we all have you to thank for sharing your ideas and enthusiasm!"
