Dear Mr Balor,
I wanted to thank you for the positive effect you have on my 7 year old autistic grandson Matthew. As an early birthday gift my daughter got tickets to take him to see you at the a Portland Rose garden last night. He was the happiest little boy I have seen in awhile. Thank you for making my little Matthew smile
