Mike, it was my pleasure meeting you - you have a very special gift in connecting with people and helping them find a little joy in life - a special gift indeed.

Hi Mike, I would like to thank you once again for your up-lifting presentation to our Nephrology Education Day. It ended our day on an excellent, happy note. When I arrived to work on Monday and was receiving verbal feedback from staff, they all thoroughly enjoyed your presentation. You have an excellent knack for making a presentation thoroughly enjoyable and at the same time presenting some thoughtful and important messages. You must have been a very popular and well liked teacher. Thank you for making the trip all the way up to Northern Ontario to entertain and teach us. I would not hesitate to recommend you to others who are planning a similar day. Thank you again. P.S.Thank you for all resources. We in the health profession need more presenters like yourself and more often.
