Jordan M. Loperena, Lake Zurich, IL
Dear Mr. Dee,
I DON’T REALLY HAVE A QUESTION, BUT I would like to tell you how much I appreciate the job you are doing with your teams. I am a 13 year old from Lake Zurich, IL which makes it kind of hard to follow the Canes. I have relatives in the Charlotte County area of Florida. I also have a cousin that goes to FSU, YUCK! I would like to let you know that no matter how hard it is, I show my Miami Hurricane pride in a Chicago suburb and I think that I’m the only Miami fan within MILES! So, now I hope you know that people all over are rooting for you, even in Lake Zurich,IL. Good luck in the Rose Bowl and I’m looking forward to the CWS in Omaha.
Sincerely,
Jordan M. Loperena
A: It’s great to hear from Canes’ fans everywhere. I’m pleased you are one. We’re going to play hard at the Rose Bowl so please root for us. Happy Holidays from the Hurricanes.

From Milton R. Menjivar, San Antonio, TexasI just wanted to thank you for all you have done for Miami’s Athletic Program. Everyone notices the players and coaches, but I wonder if we appreciate the enormous task you have accomplished, specially considering the shape the program was in when you assumed your duties. Thank You!
A: Thanks for your note. I appreciate your thoughts. Happy holidays from the Hurricanes.
