Dear Stan, You really came through for the Colorado Mountain Club even under limiting circumstances. Your presentation was superb and the audience was completely captivated. Thank you for a job well done.

Hi Stan! Once again you did a great job on sharing your journey through Australia...you are a very good public speaker! I always enjoy your shows because you’re such a positive person and you communicate and get the audience involved. I know everyone got into it. Thanks so much! Let’s go hiking soon.

Dear Stan, I want to express the extreme pleasure of SEAC with the program you
presented earlier this month at our annual meeting. All of the comments from attendees have been very positive. Your presentation was entertaining and informative as we expected. What we hadn’t expected was your personalized discussion of topics of special interest to various individuals. We appreciate that the purpose of your trip was to raise funds for cancer research. I highly recommend your program for other groups that are interested in the geography and people of Asia, as well as those who are interested in very unusual adventures.
— David Houdeshell, SEC President
Dear Stan, Please accept my sincere thanks for the presentation you did at our Bike University on Saturday. We thoroughly enjoyed it. After the presentation, I talked with many of our CBC members who expressed true admiration and tremendous appreciation for your efforts and the trips you took on behalf of cancer research. A number of those in the audience are very adventuresome individuals. However, after hearing about your journeys, they said they had no idea of the true hardships (and joys) encountered. The slides were interesting and the personal narrative a touch that really made your presentation special. You are an excellent spokesperson for the Colorado Cancer Foundation.
— Tony Anthonisen, President Twin Cities Bicycling Club
Dear Stan, So good to have you back with us this year. Your audio-visual presentation was excellent. Within you there is a style that is seen in your slides and then heard through your voice. A style of joy and excitement, danger and confidence. We had an audience of many ages, some interested in your cultural aspects, others into the technical details of the journey. I believe all questions were answered or touched upon during the show. Diversity in a show is very good, especially in a local and guest population as Vail. Please keep in touch.
