Subject: Our appreciation

John - I just wanted to let you know how helpful and supportive Tom has been as we have searched for space for one of our new programs. Even when our deals fall through, he is willing to help come up with options.  He is a consummate professional and extremely proactive, as well as having an amazing amount of patience as we struggle with our decisions.
 
It is always a pleasure working with Tom - he is a great partner for the Johnson School.
