“Thank you for the invitation to share my experiences.  You made me feel very comfortable and at ease.  Once we started, I didn’t want to stop. That’s thanks to you, because as I said, you are the only one I would have done this for.  It’s also nice to know that my opinion still matters after a quarter of a century of employment with the company and wanted me to share it.  Thank you again for the opportunity to be a part of the series and the training.”
