2008 03 29 THANKS "Jason Ralston" LETTER

March 29, 2008
Dear Bart,
I want to thank you for all your help you have given me since my junior year of high school at the ATC (Advanced Technology College). With your help, you and I have traveled to Pittsburgh, and directed and edited a commercia for a unique high school, designed websites and had over 10 photos published online.
Never in my history of school have I come across a teacher so willing to help students, in class or outside of class. Looking back on Pittsburgh, you gave me creative freedom with directing and editing that video and guided me with it. Without your help I wouldn't now be recognized at age 19 as a skilled director and editor, let alone, a photographer for www.mytopiacafe.com.
Also, without your help I wouldn't have landed my first web design job, nor would I have made the cover of www.mytopiacafe.com as a 2nd semester photography student. You have even helped me create my own website to show the world my work.
At any time, I can drop in your office and you give me your best advice and critique my photographs to help me grow as a photographer and student.
There is nothing more important than getting your name out in the world in the business of web design and photography and you have helped me do that 100 times more than anyone else. And for that, I am sincerely grateful.
As a teacher and a friend you're a great person. Thank you for all your help.
Sincerely,
Jason Ralston
