Paragone says:: goodbye Ryan. I've hung out with you for probably a total of 6-8 hrs over the past 2 1/4 years yet I still refer to you as a "buddy of mine". I think it is because you are so awesome. Or maybe it is because I am so lame. either way it was good to see you and hope that it happens again.

Tedford says:: Ryan, it's been a real pleasure. I only wish we got to talk more at the Throwdown. Take care of yourself and thanks for the art. I hope I get a chance to add to it over the coming years.

Mackle says:: Ryan, I can not express my gratitude and admiration of the person that you are. That sounds overly cheesy but we're basically going on summer break and this is what I choose to write in your yearbook. You are an amazing guy and I feel truly honored to know you and Malisa. I consider you both great friends and wish that I could see you more often.

Please clame for how you make me feel. Not so much the specific character but the pure sense of joy.
