James D. Hagen

Dear Dave:

Do you have your hospitality story of infamy yet?

Well, I'm sure you're on your way. Congratulations on being nominated a third time for giving outstanding hospitality to our visitors.

This is one of my favorite letters to write - thank you for making all of us look good in the eyes of our visitors. And I'll bet you know that those eyes can belong to our youngest visitors as well!

Thank you for being an example of how we should treat others, for being an example for others to follow, for making a South Dakota visitor feel welcome, and for keeping the shine on South Dakota's reputation as a place of Great Faces and Great Places.

Please the wear the enclosed Great Service Star lapel pin with pride and know that you are appreciated. That acknowledgement can also be a smile, a handshake, or a pat on the back.

Keep up the good work as you make all of us look good!

Sincerely,
James D. Hagen, Secretary
Department of Tourism
