"Kelsey's entire presentation was probably the high point of our conference. The connection of this regular talk with our themes of "active global citizen" and the "power of travel" was perfect. His conclusion was that travel makes you care -- and actually he used some more colorful language than that. As our chairman said, Kelsey's talk reminded us of how travel can change a person. Kelsey exceeded our expectations as a speaker -- and he also happens to be a great guy. He attended our Awards Banquet and seemed to enjoy it. Thanks for all your help and support Christie! I couldn't be more happy with how things turned out."
[Timmerman's] youthful exuberance carries this unlikely consumer tale.
