Dear David Franklin,

I would like to thank you for your presentation to our GEAR UP students. I loved your attention getting opening with the guitar and your songs were a pleasure to hear. Your topics: self-injury, anger and bullying, are timely and relevant; exactly what students this age need to hear. Our students face these problems much more than most adults realize.

Again, thank you so much for sharing your talent and experience with our students.

Sincerely,

Jeanette Kolar
