Tina Hanna Volunteers – ____ hours KUDOS RE: BVVM Wall Construction movie Thank you for the movie that you sent me. I really enjoyed it. You do such good work. I look forward to visiting
that sight again. Thanks again. Lyle (Schmitz), Asst. PARD Dir. David Schmitz’ brother RE: Lynn Stuart Pathway Press Release Even your press releases are creative! Becky Nugent, former
PIO, City of College Station Congratulations on a beautiful exhibit, for the "pathway". Don DePasqual, Dickinson, Texas This is great. What an amazing talent Mr. Lara has. Thanks for
sharing this, and I definitely want to be at the dedication. That, too, will be a great moment in our our history. Retha (Blakely), COCS Director, RISK Managmeent RE: Lynn Stuart Pathway
and KBTX Congratulations on a great dedication of the Lynn Stuart Pathway. The panels are a work of art (not to speak of educational)! The piece on the evening news was very well done
and you were a great spokesperson for CS. The Lynn Stuart Pathway will benefit all the school kids who will visit as well as provide an economic engine for CS as Veterans Park becomes
more and more a tourist destination. Great Job! Susan Irza, HPC Good coverage on KBTX!!! Kelly Kelbly, CS PARD Well said! Mike Newman, BVVM President RE: Guardians of the Navasota River
Thank you for sharing your comments and observations from last night, and Dave thank you for representing the COCS in such a professional manner. Glenn (Brown), CS City Manager
Wow! Thanks again, I appreciate it very much. And speaking of the El Camino Real project, we're being careful to not pile up any dirt on the old trail location, we're staying well away
from it. I know that kind of project takes many years to get off the ground, but we're ready when it takes off. And thanks for the kind words. Dave Coleman, CS Water Dept., Director
RE: Points of Light Foundation Award What a day, Anne, for you and for me. And Susan (Irza), it wouldn’t have been what it turned out to be – except for you. You really had some word
of wisdom today which I will not forget. I know this will go down in our history as one of those “memorable occasions.” I tell you, I nearly died when I realized they were going to stand
up! People were just smiling at me and clapping. It was hard to believe. I couldn’t look at them. Don’t think I can really remember it, it dazed me so. It was incredible. Extraordinary.
