Ed,

After our meeting in Ketchikan you probably have given up on hearing from me.
That does not mean I decided against having you come and speak. In fact, I’ve
talked about you to probably 25 people since our meeting and have thought about
your message every single day since we met. You made a big impact on me. And
frankly, I’ve heard a lot of “motivational” speakers over the years. Most have
you fired up when you leave the room, but a week later you’re not doing
anything different or even remember what they talked about

The reason for my delay in contacting you is that my Mother got quite ill
when I got back and I’ve been spending a lot of time with that. She’s 91 and we
almost lost her, but she’s tough and made it through.

I’d still love to have you speak at my 2 Education Days in March as we
discussed. They are:
March 19, 2007 in Portland
March 20, 2007 in Seattle.

I hope this still works with your schedule. Let me know.

Neil
