| May 1999 From the Governor of the state of Oregon: | |
 One of our four-day Portland field trips. |
"Dear Mr. and Mrs. Behrens: It has come to my attention that you have given a great deal of money to your local schools. Your program has opened children's eyes to the wonders of books. And your generous donations of field trips have exposed them to natural and scientific wonders they would not have otherwise seen. Our schools are in the midst of a funding crisis brought on by a variety of factors. I am thankful for people like you who care enough to help. On behalf of all Oregonians, I wish to commend you and thank you for your efforts. Sincerely, |
| |
| March 18, 2000 From the Speaker of the House of Representatives: | |
| "Dear Walter, ... I am writing to commend your efforts in donating funds to establish a program that encourages our youth to read. I believe the Reading Rewards Program has given students three opportunities; you have given children an opportunity to have attention from an adult who cares about them, the students an opportunity to learn how to read and they are able to earn some extra money... Sincerely, |
 Thank you for the books! |
