Hi.  You don't know me...but Will Repko does.  Could you print this 
letter, and give it to him?  I only hope that he remembers me...CEDA 
world, please bear with me, I hope this isn't abusing the CEDA-L...
sorry.  You are all free to read, it mostly just talks about me...
boring, huh?  


Will-

    How is it going?  I hope you remember me, my name is John Boyer, 
and I was in your lab at MNDI during the summer of 1995.  Your 
partner was John Lawson, and others in the lap included Derek 
Chitipusalkul and Abby Chattergy.  I wonder if you remember, I was 
the oldest in the lab, and I had lerengitus for a week.  Anyway, I 
was just writing to tell you how I was doing.  
    I am a freshman at Otterbein College outside Columbus, Ohio where 
I am a Lincoln Douglas debator.  I was supposed to be a CEDA 
competitor this year, but my partner ended up dropping out of college.
  So I have spent the year keeping fresh doing L-D.  I am a national 
qualifier, and just finished 3rd at the last tournament.  My last 
year at HS, which your lab prepared me for, earned me a spot in octas 
at the Ohio State Tournament, in only my second year of organized 
debate, and first year in varsity.  I ran the Three Gorges Case that 
our lab wrote, the entire year, and it won 75% of the time for me. I 
have you to thank.
    I remember you talking about hearing from ex-students, and felt 
compelled to write you.  I am having a wonderful time at college and 
hope that there will be some willing debators to come to Otterbein 
next year.  We need to revive a CEDA/NDT style program here at 
Otterbein, and I hope to be the one to do it.  
    Are you a part of Pi Kappa Delta nationals?  I will be competing 
there in L-D, and possibly CEDA for the UMKC team as Berryman's 
partner, maybe I will see you there.  For now, I wish your program 
luck, and you luck and congratulations on team successes.  I do 
monitor the CEDA-L daily, hoping that I can get involved.  Thanks for 
your time...I only hope you remember me.

Sincerely,

John Boyer
