Joseph,
Thank you so much for coming to our agency and sharing your information with us.
I have received many e-mails commenting on how nice, entertaining, and informative your presentation was.
I hope we can get you to come here and do this again.
Thanks again!
Joseph,
I just wanted to take a moment to thank you for your time during the training with our department. Over the days that you were able to teach, we trained a total of 150 firefighters, all of whom are licensed as First Responder, EMT-Basic, EMT-IV, or Paramedic in the State of Tennessee. 144 of these Firefighters are employees of the Franklin Fire Department; the other six who attended were from Spring Hill Fire Department, College Grove Volunteer Fire Department, and Peytonsville Volunteer Fire Department. We were also able to capture a wonderful video that is currently being edited and burned to DVD. This DVD will be used to train addition personnel from Williamson Medical Center EMS, Spring Hill Fire Department, Brentwood Fire Department, and Murfreesboro Fire Department. We will also use the presentation to continue to train our personnel.
The feedback from the class was overwhelmingly positive. This training gave our personnel a taste of the information that is out there regarding special needs that they will encounter and left them desiring to hear more. From personnel who spend a large percentage of their time on training and many times get burned out from hearing the same information over and over again, this is a huge compliment. They truly enjoyed your presentation in particular and you held their attention very well, probably because of your “ADHD”….they appreciate that since most of them are the same! Joking.
I will send you a copy of the DVD when it is complete and will continue to update you with information about the number of people who are being trained through the video presentation. Again, we greatly appreciate your time and hope that you feel it was as valuable an experience as we did. If there is anything we can do to help you in any way…providing fire safety education to your clients or anything else you can think of, please do not hesitate to contact us. We will be happy to return the favor if possible.
Please forward this to Eric as well, I did not have his e-mail address, but want to ensure that he understands we are very appreciative of his participation as well. Without him, this would not have been possible. The interaction between the two of you is wonderful and it was a great joy to have him here as your voice.
With much gratitude,
Sarah B. Glenn, BA, EMT-P, I/C
EMS Officer, Franklin Fire Dept.

Good Afternoon,
Wanted to pass this along and tell you that it was a wonderful pleasure to have your staff assist us with our needs! Take care.
The interpreters were great. They were very respectful and friendly. They were very good. Thank you so much for taking care of all that for my us. I really appreciate it. Thank you!
Eric - Joseph was simply awesome - and so is Laurie. - I feel so blessed to have been in the room with them. Thanks so much for hooking us up.
Hi Eric,
I just wanted to say thank you for our wonderful learning experience yesterday. As an interpreter, I can appreciate the complexity of your work in an interpreting session. Couldn’t have done it without you! You and Joseph are a great team and we hope that maybe we can do this again sometime in the future.
Again, thank you for everything!
Johannie,
We needed a Sign Language Interpreter yesterday for a family member of someone who had expired. Mary called back immediately and arrived here very prompt. She was very kind and made a difficult situation better. The patient's daughter was speech and hearing impaired and she made the statement to Mary that she was the best interpreter she had ever met. Mary was very calm and stayed with the daughter while she visited with her father.
Could you please forward this to her agency or give me an address and I will send her a THANK YOU note.
Thanks,
Liz
Thank you very much for your help this week! You guys were wonderful about finding us interpreters on such a short notice not one, not two, but three times this week!! It is not often that we have a deaf consumer present in crisis with such acute needs, however when it does happen… we need you and you were there. For that, we are very grateful and appreciative.
On behalf of the Career Day Planning Committee I would like to thank Hearing Bridges and more specifically Laurie and Jon for interpreting for us yesterday. I know that it was a most challenging interpreting assignment – requiring use of ALL of their interpreting capabilities! We greatly appreciate the wonderful job that both of them did! We do not take their skills and dedication to the job for granted!
