    Dave Hoffmann and I donated 130 copies of our book

    still a bit surprised by the lack of courtesy.

    I'm surprised you are surprised.

    An acquaintance of mine has a young daughter who just sold Girl Scout cookies at the UW athletic department and to Chris Petersen. Last Friday, she received a nice thank you note from Petersen. It was a good gesture.

    It got me to thinking how about how a year and a half ago, Dave Hoffmann and I donated 130 copies of our book Husky Hitman to the UW football team. (We were going to donate 100 copies but they asked if we could donate 130 so the coaches and some administrators could have a copy).

    To this day, neither Dave nor I have heard back from anyone at the UW about the donation, including Petersen. Dave and I didn't give the books with the expectation of getting anything in return, but we were still a bit surprised by the lack of courtesy.

    Nothing more needs to be said after the bolded part
    In other words, we weren't looking for favors or to be fawned over.

    Poor form on Pete and his staff. Would have taken 69 seconds for one of his interns to write a thank you and have Coach sign it; SOP in most organizations.

    To be fair Derek. They used your books for the annual bonfire.
