Letter to the Boss

Many of you probably remember when we were stuck in Ethiopia and couldn’t get a visa issued for Emma to depart with us to the United States. There was some paperwork missing, and we were in trouble.

Through the help of Congressman McClintock’s crack staff, we were put in contact with a woman named Ruth Lincoln who works in the State Department. She tracked down the right paperwork, got it to the US Embassy in time, and we made our flight with visa in hand.

I finally connected with her on the telephone a few days ago to express our thanks, but after I hung up, it just didn’t feel like quite enough.

So I wrote a letter to her boss.

Who knows, maybe Ruth will win employee of the month or something? She should.

    Awesome. I write so many thank you notes in my head, but getting them on paper is a challenge for me. Good for you.

    PS I am praying that this letter gets to Ruth on a day that she desperately needed encouragement!

    That would be cool!

    Aaron, you're awesome. I love the thank you note. I'm worried there might be an ad in a future Republican Primary along the lines of “Aaron Klein thanked HILLARY CLINTON for her service to the country!”
    What's next, a video of Emma and Spencer singing, “mmm mmm mmm Obama.” ???

    LOL…while our kids know how to be respectful of President Obama, they also know why mom and dad didn't vote for him either! :)

    Saying thank you is a powerful way to bring light to someone's day. I'm impressed you followed up with action. So often my intentions get stuck just being intentions.

    Oh do I know about that! It only happened because I did it right when it occurred to me. :)
