"I must write to tell you once again how much we enjoyed your visit. My students talked for quite some time about all the facts they learned from your presentation. One student’s comment on his end of the year evaluation was that of all the extra activities we did this year, your visit was the best because he learned so much from you and found your visit so interesting.
Thank you again for coming to our school and teaching us about your career as the humble General who led our infant nation with integrity and grace, earning the respect of your contemporaries as well as generations of Americans to follow. My students now count themselves among your admirers, thanks to your engaging portrayal that brought General Washington to life at our school."
