Thank you *both* so, so much. You guys were dynamic, engaging, smart, funny. We couldn't have asked for a better experience for the audience. There was incredible plurality of thought and great energy in the space. I heard lots of positive feedback today from all pockets of campus. The mutual warmth and respect between you is abundantly evident, but so is the conviction behind your individual positions.

Hi Gina! Just wanted to let you know that yesterday's debate was a HUGE success for us! I'm forwarding some coverage we received from a local news station, I hope you enjoy it. We had a minor glitch getting the show started due to John's flight trouble, but it really didn't matter. Our lecture hall was packed, standing room only, and all the students/faculty/staff waited patiently until 4:30 for things to start. John and Glen kept fielding questions until just after 6:15...and over 60 people stayed through to the very end. They got a little heated on a few issues, which was quite fun to see. John said that they usually don't get that way during their program, and that the ride back to STL would probably be interesting. :) Thanks again for everything!

Dear Gina, Thank you for all your help in making the "same-sex marriage debate" possible. John & Glenn were a pleasure to work with and Kirkland Productions made the entire process easy & enjoyable. Thank you again for being flexible with our weather situation! Roll Tide!

Hi Gina, Everything was wonderful. Glenn and John were a pleasure to assist, and their engagement of the audience was great. The program was very interesting and educational. People mentioned that they were there to get a different perspective on the topic, and they did. They asked tons of questions, and respectfully discussed their thoughts. Over all, it was a very successful event.

Hi Gina! The event went REALLY well. Both John and Glenn were very easy to work with and made the experience great. Our attendance was 457, which is pretty decent for us. The highest for a speaker series event so far this semester! I think the students really enjoyed the event, and got a lot out of it. As soon as the Q&A began, there were two lengthy lines at the microphones, and the questions and conversation kept going in the hallway long after the event ended. I appreciated John & Glenn's willingness to stay and talk with students. There several administrators at the event as well and they all gave kudos for a great, educational event. . . . It was great working with you... and with John & Glenn. Hopefully we can work together again in the future! Have a great rest of your week!
