Dear Mr. Haw,
In just a matter of days after you have read this, my first book-- Character is Promoting Ethical Excellence in Sports--will have been published. While there is certainly no way I can begin to repay you for what you have taught me and for the way you have supported me over the years, it is with the utmost , heartfelt appreciation that I tell you now that I have dedicated nay book to you.
In addition, there is one chapter of the book in which, I try to give the reader a sense of just how profoundly I am indebted to your wise instruction. I have re-printed that chapter for you on the following two pages, especially because I wanted to give you the opportunity to read it before anyone else.
Please consider both the dedication and the chapter as small tokens of my tremendous gratitude and respect for you.
If there ever was a martial arts instructor who was deserving of the fitle " Master," it is you.
Always in your debt,
Russ Gough
