An email Walt recieved after chairing an anti-bullying panel at ion theatre in conjunction with their
production of "Punk Rock."
I just wanted to say how grateful I am to you for the fantastic job you did leading the talk back and
panel discussion at ion theatre. You found such a wonderful balance between your heartfelt
sharing and organized facilitation of a difficult topic with a variety of personalities. You are a marvel
to watch and thank you for bring such an important topic to San Diego. I wish the panel had even
more attendees and gone on for several more hours; I found it so educational. You are a great
ambassador and expert for this topic.
