[rachel Jacobs]

Hello Dan. I want to thank you very much. I can't even put into words how 
thankful I am that I won. It is such an honor to have won a national 
scholarship. I appreciate it so much. I am glad I will have all of you their 
to cheer me on in Detroit! I look forward to seeing you at the state 
convention, and once again thank you.
Rachel
