Hi Shannon,

I hope you receive many of this type of email.

I just wanted to say "Thank You" to you and the staff at USAAI for the wonderful opportunity and experience Cori and I were able to have through USAAI. As Cori put it on her Facebook account, "Best trip, ever!". A great group of kids, great parents, and last but not least, great coaches!

Teresa and Angie are, quite simply, class acts! They did a wonderful job, both on and off the field, constructing a team out of a bunch of all-stars that they had never seen play together or interact together in any way. And, boy, did they come together! It was really fun to watch! They allowed me to help by keeping book, and I'm very appreciative of their willingness to allow me to do so. Being a HS coach myself, I'm not used to sitting in the stands, and being close to the action without calling any shots was wonderful! I would have no hesitation at all having Cori play for Teresa and/or Angie again! They are both tremendous ambassadors for USAAI, for the game, and for the USA! And I'm sure Cori would echo those same feelings, but in the words of a 17 year old! J

Once again, on behalf of Cori and I, my heartfelt thank you to all that made this possible! We both look forward to doing this again sometime soon!

Sincerely,

Larry Witham
