Dear Mr. Lamar Hudson, "I really love the fact that you go around to different schools and tell us teens about the things that are going on in the real world. Because there was a time in my life when I lost a very special person that was close to my heart. I lost the only brother I had because of drugs. So that's why I wanna thank you for what you're doing and you've helped me realize some things in my life. Thank you for everything."

Dear LaMar, "We would like to thank you for presenting at our 2006 Youth Prevention Summit. We appreciate your contribution to our prevention efforts. Your presentation was well received by the youth. You were one of their favorite presenters and they are still talking about you. Thank you for your commitment to prevention and to education of youth. You are definitely a positive role model for all youth."

Hey, "I don't know if you remember me but you went to Bonney Lake and you spoke to us abut drug prevention. Yeah, that was a really good message to those who might in a bad position right now. I've been really thinking about it, like when you had to let go of your friend. something like that is actually happening to me. It's really hard because it's my sister. She's into drugs & gangs and my word isn't seeming to say anything to her. I love her but I told her I didn't want to know her as a drug user. Well, it's really nice you have a website for teens like me to e-mail you. Thank you. You did a lot in a little bit of time"
