Coach Knudsen / Coach Derby (and others)

  I just wanted to get back to you and tell you all what a great job you did with the offensive lineman's camp. I was only able to come and watch one day because of the time scheduled and because of my work (electrical construction). Max was very excited to go every day and really learned a lot. Please tell the other coaches for me how much he and I appreciated their fine instruction. We were certainly glad to have been able to attend and will certainly be coming back next year - if you are able to have it again here. Thanks again to all of you for your help and good coaching!!!!!                    John and Max Woodworth
