<div dir="ltr">Hi Fred,</div>
<div dir="ltr"><br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">I wanted to drop you a note to let you know just how much Gotham means to me and to my son, Patrick. During my focused efforts with Gotham in Philadelphia, I made some wonderful relationships with other professionals, and by way of this email,
lifetime friends.</div>
<div dir="ltr"><br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">Yesterday, my son received a letter from the Dean's office at Delaware Law at Widener, advising that he had made the Dean's List. He scored the highest in his class in Torts, second in Contracts, and ended his first semester with Honors and is
being recognized at a special dinner. To boot? His performance maintains a generous scholarship.</div>
<div dir="ltr"><br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">Patrick and I were tracing his steps back to one very special Gotham lunch he attended with his ol' Mom (me) when he was 18 years old, at the Capital Grill in Philadelphia when he met Bill Hill, Esq. During intros, Patrick impressed Bill. After
that lunch, Bill took Patrick under his wing and gave him an internship at his firm in Center City Philadelphia on Market Street, just two-doors from where I started my career in finance in 2002. That is when he fell in love with law. The kid crushed it.
Bill Hill reported to me that Patrick produced better work at 19, then some of the first-year law students.</div>
<div dir="ltr"><br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">I believe "it is better to give than receive, but what goes around, comes around."</div>
<div dir="ltr"><br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">Thank you for being you. I'm grateful to know you and feel blessed every day. I'm a proud Mama and a grateful Gotham member.</div>
