Dear Karena
Some time ago, the executive of the Club asked me to congratulate you on the completion of your swim of Cook Strait.
A number of people had expressed concern that such a young swimmer should undertake such a monumental task but the manner in which you set about your training, and finally your swim, left no doubt in anyone's mind of your dedication. You further proved your dedication by the manner in which you stuck to the task of swimming that treacherous stretch of water.
All of us have expressed our admiration to you individually, but it is my task to record that admiration on paper. I feel hard pressed to find adequate words to describe your achievement, but I hope that your strength of character and physical ability, plus your dedication and desire to achieve, will stand you well in college life and later in your life of earning a living.
We thank you for adding much to the life of the Levin Swimming Club in the 1988/89 season.
Yours faithfully
