Endorsement: "Thank you for your efforts to arrange the fireside with Mario. We had over five hundred students and guests packing the two chapels we have here to listen to his remarks Wednesday night. He did a marvelous job of speaking and sharing his experiences. He had us crying and laughing all night long. There was a line clear aound the chapel waiting to thank him after his talk. Down the road a ways we would love to have him back. Thanks again!"
