   Kelly,
   What a well written and well given speech. The logic was well organized, very thoughtful and great use of and crediting outside sources/references. You are becoming quite a scholar. Very advanced – a reflection of your good education. We are so proud of you. Keep up the good work. Yea, the money doesn’t hurt either, does it?

   Your good Texas friends, The Larson’s
