[Letter to Steven
Rivellino, May 25, 2010]
"It was a pleasure and a delight to see you last night. On behalf of The Princeton Club of New York, and myself, I wanted to convey our thanks for your speaking there last evening. It was a very successful and enjoyable event. As you know, the club's attendees are an intellectually curious group. You were surely effectual in satisfying that prerequisite. The audience was riveted and stimulated by your grasp of the facts, details, and very engaging delivery on the subject of The Business of Broadway. The information you presented was enlightening and fun.
I should also mention that I had many positive comments and compliments about you and your talk and your graciousness in answering the so many questions that were asked. All in all, it was a great evening!"
Very truly yours,
Trish Belfatto

".. one of the absolute highlights of the cruise was attending the lectures given by Steven Rivellino. To say that myself and others were pleased with Mr. Rivellino's presentations would by an absolute understatement. ... I have attended many lectures on Crystal Cruises and I must say that Mr. Rivellino's captured my interest like no other. I only wish he could have been scheduled for more!"
