Thank you so much for suggesting George for our campus - he absolutely rocked!! He was so calm and cool, his talk was incredible. We had quite possibly the largest student turn-out ever to see him. George is one of the most intelligent, educated speakers I have ever seen. He knows his music and he knows the world around him.
