I will try and stop
by on Christmas Eve. And thank you for creating such a wonderful
holiday display and using it to raise funds for "Make a
Wish" Foundation. The true meaning of Christmas is alive and
well at your home......... the Miracle on 9th Avenue.
Susan Haynie,
Deputy Mayor City of Boca Raton
We made it over to your house
last weekend (for your Halloween show) and had a wonderful time.
The music and timing circuits were awesome, really a wonderful
show. Thanks again for putting on such a great show and for doing
the fundraising for Make-a-Wish.

Rick,
Thanks so much for providing the operating/instruction manuals for
the various robots in your collection online. I have some of the
robots, but because I bought them on the secondary market the
manuals were not included. You have provided an invaluable service
for people like myself.
Thanks
again, Gary.
The opening of the
Space Science Gallery went really well! Your suits look
amazing- our visitors are really enjoying them. Thank you again for
allowing us to borrow and display your wonderful collection!

Well
Rick, I have to officially say….”you are too much”. Thank
you for continually providing an energy and inspiration to help me
focus on becoming better and better as a person. I really
love to see what you do and I hope I can be a part of it someday in
the near future. Merry Christmas to you and your
wife.

others. Good Job!

Dear
Rick,
Today an 8 year old boy came to the museum with his mother
specifically to see the Apollo exhibit. "Space is my
Favorite!" he kept exclaiming. He was so excited to see the
models and helmets and "real space parts"... you would
have loved his enthusiasm.
Thanks again for making this exhibit possible and sharing your
passion with so many children and families!
Best,

Dear

I
wanted to let you know what a huge hit your NASA collectibles have
been at both the Boynton Beach City Library and the Schoolhouse

your willingness to share your collections with the children and
families of our town.
All

I cannot thank you enough for all you have done for the SFSM.

I just wanted you to
know that this site has been a blessing. I find myself
returning to it for so
many things. Examples of my use are everything for Storytime
(ages 0-5) and lesson ideas to my kids homework research. I
have used it for cub scouting and now for girl scouting. As a
non-paid volunteer in so many venues I am thankful for your site.
Thanks again for being free.

You have outdone
yourself. How can we thank you enough? I played with the (Solar
Express) trains today and went bonkers! I love it and the whole
world will love it. Thank you. Thank you.

Rick,
A word of thanks
for all your help and generosity with the opening of Robotics. Bob
May was a great addition to the program. I am told that the members
preview was the best ever attended. We had more than 600 show up (a
record).
Again, Thanks for
your support of the museum.
Bob Callahan - Executive Director

Dear Mr. Newman,
We would like to thank you very much for
participating in the Saint Andrew's Energy Expo. It was very
generous of you to share your electric car with us and allow us to
have it on display throughout the day. The "Sparrow" was a
big hit with our students and visitors. It generated much
discussion, especially in the physical science classes. Your car
certainly helped us to increase awareness of alternative energy
sources and the need for them in the world today.
Once again, thank
you for your willingness to share your car and your time to help
make the Energy Expo a success.
Sincerely,
Ann Marie Krejcarek - Pricipal
Saint Andrew's School-Boca Raton, FL
Rick,
That is wonderful news. Even without the press this is generating,
taking a piece of science history which was rusting in our backyard
and turning it back into something that “wows” visitors is truly
admirable. As we continue progress forward in making the SFSM a
destination here in South Florida, it’s wonderful to have a few
quick-wins like this which tell the public that “something good is
going on over there.”
Your dedication and hard work are certainly appreciated. Keep up the
good work!
Dan
Cain - Exhibits Committee Chairman
South Florida Science Museum
I think you are doing a great
service for the nation with your program, thank you.

many doors for these kids.

winners.
Pamela Propaca -

I'm writing to thank you for your donation of 40 Geiger counters to
our (schools) Science Department. Your donation will enable our
students to conduct field tests for radioactivity and other
experiments that they would not have had the opportunity to conduct.
As you are probably aware, the level of school funding provides us
with some monumental challenges, but through the generosity of
individuals such as yourself, we are able to overcome these
challenges and provide a richer environment for our students.

man like you who is so devoted to helping get
technology and information out to young people. This
has been fantastic and we have already started using
some of the items you have sent to us like the

I saw the weather station and storm detector you set
up at the Science Center and they are really great!!! The kids going
for their weather badges this summer will have you to
thank for some excellent equipment. I expect a record
number of weather badges this year!!!
Thanks again,

Thank you for
your generous support. The youth of Northwest
Pennsylvania are in for one exiting time at camp.
Everyone had a great summer and again, thanks for the
materials. We get items daily. Next summer our Theme
for the Cub Scout Resident Camp is going to be
"Space".
Sincerely,
Steven Charboneau - Executive

You will be glad to know that all your stuff
has really made a big difference in our program!!! We are having 2 star gazing nights a week and your telescope has
really upped the interest in our astronomy program.
Your weather stuff is in daily use by both the merit badge students
and for the camp itself. The storm warning detector went off just before a
big thunderstorm last week so that was pretty slick.
The nature staff is also thrilled with the bug collection, rocks
etc. and your computers are being used not only as computers but also as
part of a packet radio station for the radio merit badge.
Overall, we made so many improvements in science and technology
programs that the shooting, sports and waterfront guys are complaining that
we have better resources and are attracting more kids than they are!!
Things really are improved at
Forestburg Scout Reservation and that is due in no small
part to you.
THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!!.
Dave Fiedler
Monmouth Council, BSA - New
Jersey
If your efforts steer just a few Scouts into science
careers and help others to better understand the world
around them, you will have accomplished much. With
facilities like the ones you've shown, camp should be
a great learning experience.
Regards.
Dr. Robert Winfree
We would like to thank you again for the wonderful
donations to the new "High-Tech Productions Camp

currently offer.
Sincerely,
Bart Green -

Let me just say that I checked out your weather web
page, and it is among the very best that I've seen. No
doubt about it, I will use your information in the
future. Congratulations on your hard work... it shows!
If you're in contact with the Science & Technology
Centers... Please pass along a sincere show of
appreciation... and give my best to the Boy Scouts who
helped make it possible.
Sincerely,
