Hello Spiro,
I want to thank you for the amazing words of guidance and encouragement that you shared with Tyler today as he begins his journey in the Honors College at Texas Tech. He was truly moved by the organizations generosity and really appreciates the responsibility of sharing his good fortune with others when he is in position to do so later in life. Tyler will certainly keep you posted on his success. All the best and looking forward to hearing your amazing play calls at GCC for the Village games this season.

Steven
