That's the first time they've ever done that while an expedition was in progress; they have always waited until it was over. Several people have contacted me and specifically referenced your press release. I wish you'd been helping Pam a long time ago; but I'll concentrate on rejoicing that you're doing it now."

– Alice Hollinger, Campaign Manager, Pam Flowers Arctic Expeditions

You are really terrific to display such compassion and understanding for all that we are trying to accomplish.”

– Paul Callahan, Chairman, Shake-A-Leg Newport

"Congratulations on a fantastic job as media coordinator at the Olympic Yachting Trials. Because of your vigilance, I came back with everything I need.

"I've never properly thanked you for everything your staff has done to make my job possible through the years. I know you can appreciate, as few others could, what an operation it is to cover as many as six different far-flung activities on a single day and get them into the paper, while trying to beat a deadline. You made it possible. I know my successor will be equally appreciative.

"I have much pleasure in enclosing a cheque for MEDIA PRO services during the Singlehanded Transatlantic Race. One of the successes of this year's event was the increased media and general interest in the race…our internet web site was very popular in the USA. Of the 51,000 hits, 26% were from the States. A marvelous marketing opportunity and food for thought in the future!"

– John Lewis, Royal Western Yacht Club of England
