Dear Gary,
I wanted to let you know how much all of us here at HealthWorks Kids Museum appreciated everything you did for our science day 2004. Your programs were really great and we've been hearing a lot of positive comments from the people who attended. The work you do to promote science education with kids is so important and we were so happy to work with you.
Sincerely,
