Dr. Cavanauagh,

Thank you so much for your presentation last evening. It was so informative and, yes, disturbing. I have been concerned about the future for my grandchildren for some time and now that I have two precious great-grandchildren, I am even more concerned.

I’ve received several emails from our members this morning relating what an eye opener your presentation was and their concern for the education of our nation’s children as well as their grandchildren. Concerned parents need to hear your message, and I’m recommending your website to my son, daughter, married granddaughter, and friends.

Thank you so much. You were a joy to be with last evening.

You were amazing! I heard so much positive feedback! Our children loved the presentation and our head of school, Carol, said she was very impressed how you allowed the children to be totally “hands on” during the presentation.

Dear Ellen,
Thank you very much for the informative presentation on “Becoming heroes in your grandchildren’s lives” and discussing the changing technology in our children and grandchildren’s lives. It is very hard to fathom the changing technology that is happening daily around us. Our members were very enlightened, and I think a little surprised, with some of the statistics you presented. Thanks for making this topic a little more down to earth and showing how easy it is to be a positive role model – even with technology all around us!
God bless you!
