Thank you, GSW High School

I would like to thank Gardner-South Wilmington High School, Ms. Dallio and Zach Sorensen for mentioning me at this year’s graduation and starting an award to be given to future students who demonstrate a good work ethic and service to GSW.

It really moved me to have this award named after me, unfortunately I didn’t hear a word Zach said at the graduation and didn’t know about it until after the ceremony. Cleaning up after the graduation, I found Zach’s speech on the podium so I now have it and will keep it always.

Thanks Class of 2009, Ms. Dallio and Zach. I am honored.
