"Glenn brought the magic of kites to our Maine library in the middle of winter! He demonstrated a variety of amazing “walking kites” and provided a wealth of information for a mixed-ages audience. The indoor mini-kites created by participants all flew beautifully, and kids enjoyed flying them throughout every corner of our meeting space. Additionally, Glenn provided a sampling of kites of all types and sizes for a library display that cheered and intrigued patrons throughout the month."

"On behalf of the Hudson River Museum, I want to thank you over and over for your participation in the Kite Festival this past weekend in Yonkers, New York. The Kite Festival was a huge success, thanks in no small part to your contributions. To a person, The kite-flying people you brought in were fantastic! What a wonderful community of real, warm-hearted, generous-spirited people. Your own presentations were tremendous.

I also had five students stay after school to build kites because of the presentation. They loved those tiny kites! Thanks again, so much, for visiting us with such enthusiasm and knowledge about kiting."

"I was fascinated by your presentation at the Cub Scouts and so was my son - it was the first time he ever said he "loved" going to the meeting. The kites we made have been flown by both the adults and kids in the neighborhood."
- James M. Smalley, Merrimack, NH
"It was informative, but it was also engaging for 6th graders. You kept their attention with the kites you designed and flew. You spoke to their "age", instead of "over their heads." It also tied into our curriculum unit on flight. The kids absolutely loved it. I definitely enjoyed it myself."
- Melissa Walts; Teacher, MA
"At the 2006 annual meeting of the Science Teachers of New York State, Glenn Davison treated me and 40 other science teachers to a fascinating presentation of the physics of flight using kites. He did a fantastic job that excited the audience and made them part of his presentation. I've never seen such enthusiasm from an audience!"
- Herb Gottlieb, Member Science Teachers Association of New York State
