Hi Denise:
Everything said about you is true, I would like to add my experience with you while in the state of
Washington serving as the Assistant Superintendent of Public Instruction for ten (10) years. Your
people skills, willingness to make very difficult decision, always searching for the truth remains
vividly in my mine as if it was yesterday.
Thank you for being an excellent role model for the students, staff and community at large. Your
tireless energy and compassion for all people in helping all people become the best that they can be
is a legacy that you have left with any person who was blessed to have met you.
Any organization, company, group or individual with whom you choose to work with will find a "star
general' in you. I am smiling as I look at your picture and think of the great work you did during my
10 years in Washington. I was truly blessed in having you as one of my friends and colleagues.
You can add me to the vast number of people who had the pleasure of working with you to write a
letter or recommendation for any position in which you apply.
May God bless you as you blessed me and all of the people who have the pleasure of working and
knowing you.
Blessings
Andy
