"I started reading your book just before 1:00 a.m. this morning. Didn't close my eyes till I finished (Just after 2:30 a.m.). You should call Dan Rather. You should include your story in the next edition of his now famous The American Dream. That's exactly what you have accomplished. Although you'd told me your story, it was so much more poignant in print. I'm still awed by all that you have and are still doing."

"Hello Tina! I couldn't let another day pass without sharing with you how impressed and encourage (still encouraged) I was after hearing you speak. You were in control. You made it all look so easy. And as I'm sure you know, when a professional is doing something that looks that easy, they're definitely a pro. You made me want to get up there and have the good time with you. You're tremendous. I was so impressed how you so delicately, yet powerful diluted any prejudgments or misconceptions the audience may have had. They loved you. They were eating it up as they jotted down the invaluable techniques you shared. Thanks for doing what you do and for doing it so extraordinary."

Finding my voice in content and personality. You took the mystery out of how to get into radio. I loved it. I know everyone doesn't get those opportunities every day, but you know "when the spotlight hits, you BETTER BE DANCING." Thank you for your wisdom and “trade secrets.”
