"One word..."SPECTACULAR"! I cannot tell you how wonderful a person Charlie is! He and his crew took so much time out of their busy day for us....I am still in awe! They made sure to talk and touch each one of our kids! I get emotional just reliving it! He is definitely an inspiration! I am forever grateful to Charlie, Jenny, Marshall, their crew and absolutely to News-2-You for bringing such an awesome experience to our students, staff, and little town! It won't be soon forgotten! THANK YOU!! THANK YOU!! THANK YOU!! We will continue to track Charlie all the way to NYC and support him through his daily blog comment area. And to think...this was all because of you hardworking, talented, caring individuals at News-2-You! You should all be very proud of the work you do. You have made a lasting contribution to my classroom, students, staff, and school!
Charlie was very interested in having my students read a little snippet of this weeks News-2-you paper to him. We even pulled out our copy of "Desert Run" and had him sign it for us! Did I already mention how "AWESOME" the entire experience was?!! I will be forwarding pictures to you as soon as I can get them up and going!
With Eternal Gratitude,
