New Years Eve update

Well I am just posting an update on how this are going on this end. So far I have e-mail 45 local colleges ranging from Division 1 to Division 3. Mostly as I expected, I am getting out of office responses straight across the board. Being that it is the holiday break, I didn't expect anything else. Perhaps I should have waited till next week to send out my opening e-mail.
On a bright note I did get an inquiry from the University of New Haven (a D2 school). They requested more information. I forwarded them the slide show I have posted here, as well as the link to where I have the USMA photos.
Hopefully, I will start hearing some positive feed back next week.

I wish you all a Happy and Healthy 2008.
