Kevin, we have gone to your presentations in the past and LOVED them. Coming from a career where presentations were almost a daily project I find you are truly a master at holding the audience, you are really terrific! We travel often and would like to pick up your programs. Plus we have many friends who would like to hear you speak. - Marcella Olenzak
Kevin, Your program will stay with us for a long time. I can't imagine that the night sky will remain the same when we turn our gaze upward. The program was delightful and you brought a "massive" subject "down to earth" with great visual aids and an enthusiastic delivery. Thank you so much for bringing Astronomy for Everyone: Size & Scale of the Universe to our patrons. - Sincerely, Victoria Halbleib, Oakley Public Library
"Thank you so much for your fantastic presentation last night. I’m thrilled that we had so many people of all ages attend. You were engaging, enthusiastic, obviously an expert at the information you were presenting but still able to convey it at a level appropriate for anyone, and funny. I love how much audience participation you included. Your PowerPoint presentation was very interesting, and I love all of the videos you included as well as the models and analogies you used to explain difficult concepts. I would highly recommend you to any other library or organization looking to host an astronomy program, and I hope that we can someday have you back to do another one of your many programs. The libraries that backed out or didn’t end up booking you are totally missing out (as are their community members)." - Joanna Axelrod, Escondido Public Library
"Your program was truly incredible! The libraries (and other venues) around the country are certainly lucky to have a traveling astrophysicist giving such an informative as well as entertaining presentation. You had something for everyone—all ages could enjoy it, from the fantastic array of photos to the detailed explanations of the “heavens. The audience members who stayed to look through the telescope were certainly an enthusiastic crowd, weren’t they? Your program was way better than the one shown at San Francisco’s Academy of Sciences Planetarium.” - Robyn & Joe Orsini, St. Helena Public Library

"What a FABULOUS event last night! In my eleven years at Palm Harbor Library, I cannot recall a more worthwhile program in terms of value - not just monetarily but for its educational worth. Certainly the "icing on the cake" was viewing Saturn through your telescope! The audience was equally enamored by your presentation and already are clamoring for more! Next year's summer reading club theme is NIGHT so you KNOW we're having you back! I would LOVE to have a children's astronomy program for ages 8-12 if you can provide something suitable for that age group. Pick any Tuesday or Thursday evening in late June or July 2012 and we'll book you NOW. I'm not waiting for others to get the jump on this". - Lois Eannel, Palm Harbor Library
