Thanks for taking the time to write - it makes us feel great! DAVID DOUGLAS PUBLIC SCHOOLS MULTNOMAH CO. DISTRICT NO. 40 DR. ANTHONY R. PALERMINI, SUPERINTENDENT 1500 SE 130TH AV PORTLAND OR 97233 (503) 252-2900 Dear Doug: I want to thank you personally saving the taxpayers of David Douglas School District several thousand dollars. As you are aware, Gilbert Park Elementary School recently received recognition as one of the outstanding elementary schools in the nation. This award was presented by the president in the Rose Garden at the White House in Washington, D. C. You can see the importance of our attendance at the ceremony, and the lateness of notification from Washington put us in direct conflict with current airline regulations. Your intervention on our behalf was greatly appreciated. Thanks again for your assistance. Sincerely, Tony Palermini Superintendent Larry Knudsen / Athletic Director Gresham High School Doug & Elli - Thanks for working out our package to Hawaii. Your part of our trip was great! The beaver's part came up a little short! It was well done and we appreciate it. Larry & Molly Knudsen Greater Portland Baptist Church 17800 SE Main St Portland, OR 97233 (503) 761- 6971 Dear Ellie, Please allow me this opportunity to say thank you for taking care of our group's travel plans to Guadajara, Mexico. We have recently returned from the trip and I wanted to write and say thanks! We did have a bit of a hold up at check in, but other than that things were really smooth. The American Airlines folks were very helpful. Our kids had a blast and I believe that the Lord used them to truly be an encouragement and make an impact for His honor and glory. Since returning home, our kids have not ceased to talk about the great time they had, as well as the impact of the mission's trip upon their personal lives. Thank you again for your help and dedicated service to help make our trip go smoothly. If I can ever be of help to you in any way, please do not hesitate to call. God bless you and have a great day! Sincerely, Your Friend, For Our Youth, Greg Adams, Assistant Pastor GA/sh CORBETT GORDON & ASSOCIATES, P CORBETT GORDON & ASSOCIATES, P.C. Attorneys at Law Dear Mr. Walker: I wanted to drop you a short letter to recognize the performance of one of your employees. Debra Brosseau helped me tremendously today as I made last-minute travel plans due to the death of my grandmother. I had checked several airlines and travel web sites to find a good price for a flight to the New York area, and the best price I could find was in excess of $1200. Most of the flights were over $2000. My wife, who works with Amy Walker at O.H.S.F., recommended that I give your office a call, as she heard that your office had found great deals for other co-workers. When I called your office and talked to Debra, she was able to find me a flight for approximately $600. I was amazed that she was able to find such a great deal at such short notice. Debra could not have been nicer to me. She was quick, friendly, responsive and incredibly helpful. I wanted to let you know that because of the great work she did for me and my wife, I will be sure to refer other business to your office and will undoubtedly contact your office again with future travel plans. Please pass along my gratitude to her. Sincerely, Richard R. Meneghello Customer Service Dept. Pacific Delight Tours, Inc. 205 East 42nd Street, Suite 1908 New York, NY 10017-5706 Gentlemen: We just returned on the fourth of October and are enclosing our evaluation sheet regarding our recent tour of China. This was one of the very best tours that we have experienced and we have been on many of them. Our travel agent, Joyce Schmit, of Walker Travel & Cruises, 1005 N. Main Avenue, Gresham, OR 97030, 1-503-666-3700, was the very best we have ever had. She went out of her way to give us brochures, etc…she was great! Mr. Sun Xingjun met us in Beijing with a great big smile. He works in the office but was our guide all through our tour except for Hong Kong. As stated on the evaluation sheet, he was wonderful - answered all of our millions of questions and kept track of all of us with his patience and smiles. We all have a new friend! Mr. Li of Hong Kong was something else again. He was not kind nor patient, and he lacks friendliness. He was very cross most of the time and his jokes about fat Americans, French, Italians and Japanese were not funny. Thank you again for a delightful, well organized and beautiful tour. I was not too enthused but my husband has wanted to go for years. I would be delighted to go again and will recommend your company most enthusiastically. Sincerely, Betty J. Pederson 21st CENTURY SCHOOLS Doug Walker Walker Travel & Cruises 1005 N Main ST Gresham OR 97030 Dear Mr. Walker, My daughter, Rebecca and I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for hosting the lovely dinner at the Country Club for your clients. The food and service was exceptional and we appreciated the opportunity to finally meet our agent, Debra Brosseau, who recently arranged our cruise with Princess upon which we are leaving tomorrow. I would like to commend Debra for the exceptional service she has provided in working with us to arrange this cruise and the hotel stay in San Juan. She has been very pleasant and fun to work with as well as informative and caring. Her service is the reason we will return to Walker Travel for our next trip. Thank you again for the wonderful dinner and the great service from your agency. Sincerely yours, Joyce M.
