"You possess
the rare quality of speaking with (rather than "to") your audience, and
you made us feel the message you were sharing with us. If everyone could
hear your message and apply it to their lives this would be a most wonderful
world indeed. I would also like to add that I personally was quite impressed
with the obvious research preparation you had done on the essentials of
Industry Security and the manner in which you presented your inspirational
concepts tied into what each of us are responsible for in our day-to-day
security activities."
