 Wil:
Just want to let you know that, despite icy winds and snow, your outdoor  education workshop at the NAI Regional Conference was really a delight and, for me, the highlight of the conference. I am not alone in wishing I could have more opportunity to follow you around and learn more about your philosophy and how you teach outdoors.  You are an excellent resource person for any of us, both practicing and aspiring naturalists!  I live in Elkhart, IN, maybe an hour away from Kalamazoo.  It even occurred to me to ask you what college courses you will be teaching and where--I might just consider registering!

Wil & Sarah,
My trip to the Nordhouse Dunes, Sept 8-10 was quite a memorable trip. I feel >> I learned a ton even though I wasn¹t in school and I feel I gained a lot, too! >> I also commend will and Sarah for a great job planning this trip; it wouldn¹t
have been as fun without the two of them.

Dear Wil,
We so much enjoyed you program as A.E. Claus last Thursday. What a fun way to be reminded of the many free gifts we have been given and our responsibility to care for our natural world.

Wil & Sarah!
This is just a note to say Thank-you very much for making this National Wildlife summit hard to forget! I really enjoyed you programs. Aresfoot and the Marsh Mallow Man were fabulous! I roared in laughter! I also enjoyed the wildflower class, even though we were hit by a bit of rain.
