• Dear Mr. McFaden,
• Im flipping though the cable stations and as
  usual with 120 channels to choose from there is
  nothing worth watching. So I find myself
  watching C-SPAN....Congressman Jim Moran was
  talking, and all of a sudden he is talking about
  deer hunts at Mason Neck.... He mentioned that
  managers there had given him data saying ...that
  the data collections had been done by students
  ....

• It occurred to me that this was the first time
  in 10 years of school that something I had done
  was used to more than the purpose of grading, but
  for something that actually made a difference.
  I want to thank you for the opportunity. It has
  given me more incentive to work than anything
  else that I have ever done in school.
• Sincerely,
• Jay Briar
