Dear Justice Sears:

I want to thank you so much for sharing with my wife and daughter your Steeple Chase tickets. Friday was her 13th birthday and she thoroughly enjoyed the special treat of the Atlanta Steeple Chase for such a momentous birthday.

I am sorry that I was unable to attend, but I had a long standing commitment to play golf with a high school and college friend of mine I have not seen for about ten years. I hope you had a pleasant and safe trip to Washington, D.C. and thank you again for sharing your tickets with us.

Sincerely,

William L. Martin, III

Administrator/Clerk

Court of Appeals of Georgia
