Mr. Hoge, we something in common…I have survived both lung cancer (1996) and Hodgkins Disease (1998)I am happy we both found a way to beat that awful disease.
My opinion: you are wrong about Tim Tebow, he is a winner and I think it will show up in due time.
Thanks for reading this.

Merril — I had the opportunity to listen to you speak today at Pepsi Business Meeting in Pittsburgh and I was extremely impressed. As a young boy growing up in Salt Lake City I often followed many players in the NFL who had ties to my spiritual beliefs. Listening to you today confirmed to me that we each have trials in our lives. None of us are perfect but if we have integrity we will find a way to overcome and grow from these trials. I’ve never met you until today, although I’ve known quite a bit about you from articles I’ve read. I can truly say I will be a better person after listening to you today.

Mr. Hoge,
I’m a guidance counselor at a charter school in Homestead. Currently we are reading “Find a Way” with the 8th grade boys. They are really enjoying the book, and have been asking if it is possible for you to come in to speak with them. I didn’t know if this would be possible, but please get back to me.
