So very sorry that Mrs Freddie and I were not able to attend tonight. I'm not at all surprised that Willy handled himself with dignity, class and passion.

His speech was absolutely amazing. Talk about taking the "high road" in an personally difficult situation.... He gave a clinic in how to do it tonight!!!

Also, a Special Thanks to Van Wright (Assistant to the Vice Provost for Enrollment Management; aka Admissions Officer) who was our Master of Ceremonies! He did a great job and his enthusiasm is very contagious!!!

Coach Williams is class all the way. Great heartfelt speech tonight. Got to sit with Wade Finnegan, what a great kid. Very enjoyable evening and nice job by MC Van Wright. Thanks to all the seniors and to Coach Williams. When we win the national championship again, this team will be remembered as the team that turned the corner for us and set a great foundation for the future.
