Don Henry, Jr.

Rebecca is an outstanding person and has many qualifications that would make her a desirable candidate for any office in which she would be interested. She is an outgoing, bright and eager individual that approaches life with zeal and strives to do her best. She is a goal oriented person and once she sets her mind to achieving a goal, nothing will stop her. She is active in her community, school projects, work and recreation. It is my pleasure to offer my recommendation for this fine young woman. She will be a valuable asset to any firm. I wish she could work for me again.
