Mike Kalskett and Jesse Frederickson Mike,
I still remember when we were at baseball conditioning as freshmen and

we were both working on pitching (but we both know, we were seeing who
could throw harder. ..). After that, we began to talk, help each other out, rest is
history, man.

I'm glad we became friends, made high school A LOT easier. We've
been through a lot together, and think, it' s just about over now. Congrats on a
successful four years, and the best of luck in whatever you do the rest of your
life.

Keep in touch, "Rocket."
Best regards,
Freddy
