Dear Karen:
I was delighted to read that you have been named the Small Business Person of the Year by the U. S. Small Business Administration. What a tremendous honor. As I mentioned to you in the meeting with the Federation of Women Contractors, being a small business owner myself, I appreciate the determination and commitment necessary to run a successful small business.
Congratulations on this prestigious award I am sure you earned it the old fashioned way - by hard work. I look forward to seeing you at the Races on June 19th.
Sincerely,
George H. Ryan
Secretary of State
