"This note is intended not only to be an internship report, but a note of thanks to the International Academy for Design and Technology, and a note of recommendation for Jim Robinson.
Jim has not only been a pleasure for me to have as an intern, but he has brought credit on himself, the Department of Web Design, and the school itself by his recommendations for design changes, reorganization, and efforts to bring my website into focus on its central concept. As soon as he makes his final presentation to his professors and sends me a copy of his completed work, I plan to incorporate it into www.god-talk.info and www.god-talk.com as quickly as I can. It is my intention to add a credit line on my homepage to recognize the value Jim and the Academy has been in the redesign of the site.
Jim has not only shown his own credibility, but he has exemplified the excellent purposes and goals of the Academy. He has talent, motivation, and a good work ethic. Additionally, his own spiritual life has given him a feel for the advocacy of the Gospel Story which is the "playbook" for the acts and scenes used to present the life and teachings of Jesus Christ. He has been a good choice for my project and I am exceedingly pleased and grateful for his efforts in behalf of God-Talk."
