Smithers 13:59ers, Smithers (2005)

"I wanted to congratulate you on your smashing success of organization re. the recent Skeena River Relay Run. From my perspective it was sterling, I think from start to finish, along each stage everyone of your people were happy, encouraging to each participant, and very courteous, excellent choices of people, in addition Charlene there was no sense of not knowing what their job entailed, they were well briefed. At the finish, all your volunteers were still as happy, encouraging, courteous, informed as the beginning, and at the end of the day your smile when I saw you and Mike was so nice to see. You were so consistent with this through out all contact I had with the two of you. I have to say that over the years I have been involved in so many volunteer projects and I do have a real sense of the inner works of such an undertaking and you did so well, to be congratulated once again, super job."
