NICE DAY!!!

Just a quick note to tell you how impressed I was with you all today.  You all worked so professionally during the photoshoot - allowing us to get some beautiful pictures for archival and granting purposes. And then you delivered a terrific run of the show for the cameras and our intimate audience.

I'm excited for you to go into these three final performances with this level of focus and determination.  I hope you really have a terrific time bringing thing journey to a close.  

Congrats!
