Congratulations and thanks

Congratulations to Greg Orwoll, executive director of the Dubuque Colts, on his recent induction into the Drum Corps International hall of fame.

Also, my personal thanks for the inspired and compassionate leadership which, during the past season, has guided his corps of talented and committed young people - and their adult sponsors, staff members, and volunteers - from a time of tragedy through a season of accomplishment and renewed hope.

His voice, his leadership, and the example of the Colts have likewise been an inspiration to me as I've faced the physical, spiritual and emotional challenges of this time in my own life. Thanks Greg.
