"Hi Sean,
It was a pleasure meeting you today!  I really enjoyed your presentation at Camp Apples.
      I am so inspired by you and your program, and I am excited to try some of your ideas.  I will not be in a setting to be able to implement a boot camp modeled after your plan, but I am trying to think of ways I can implement a similar idea for my 7th grade Writing class.  I am also thinking of ways I can try some of your ideas during my reading intervention groups at the primary level. 
      Thank-you again for sharing all of your wonderful ideas and knowledge!  I am going to enjoy reading and using your information, and following your blog!"
-Jennifer C.
