Dear Miss Spolin: 

I take this opportunity to join your many friends, students and supporters in appreciation of your work as a drama coach and teacher, and a pioneer in improvisational theater.

 You have laid the, groundwork for improvisational theater as we know it. Through your work, countless young people have been enabled to express themselves more creatively. You have touched many with the magic of theater improvisation, and I applaud your contribution to the cultural enrichment of our nation. 

Nancy joins me in wishing you much happiness and success.

                                            Sincerely,
                                  
                                           Ronald Reagan
