"You have brought a better understanding of the critical consequences of designer drug usage and its impact on the lives of others. The students' questions and comments are proof of the effectiveness of your presentation. I extend the invitation for you to return again and speak with our students......."
Dr. David T. Washington, Principal, Southern Oaks Middle School, Port St. Lucie, FL
"I recommend Mr. & Mrs. Alumbaugh to every school who wishes to send a strong message about drugs. 1500 students and 80 teachers were affected by their speech....."
Dr. Peggy Jones, Principal, Sebastian River High School, Sebastian, Florida
I would like to thank you for sharing your moving story with the students at the Florida School for the Deaf and Blind. You are reaching many young lives."
Ann Mary Miller, Residential Staff In-Service Coordinator, St. Augustine, Florida
"It is obvious that your message makes a positive impact, whether it be reinforcing the commitment to be drug free or that of a fresh, clean start. I definitely believe that you deliver this message in a poignant and powerful way....."
Thomas W. McIntyre, Ed.D, Principal, Melbourne High School, Melbourne, Florida
In this day and age of designer drug use, it is urgent that young people hear messages such as that of the Alumbaugh's. If even one student makes a better choice because of the Alumbaugh's, then their message has made a difference. Not one student who heard 'Michael's Message' took it lightly."
Jeff C. Asher, Principal, Vero Beach High School, Vero Beach, Florida
Although your talk was obviously emotional and painful, my prayer is that it will help both of you in the healing process"
Debra D Schroeder, Head of School, St. Andrew's Episcopal School, Fort Pierce, Florida
"Through my involvement with young people, I can certainly vouch for the need for Michael's Message to be continually shared throughout our country."

"The story of their son Michael losing his life as a result of drugs certainly hit home for our children. The tears and expressions of sorrow were signs of the impact the presentation had on them."
Mary W. Dungey, Assistant Principal, St. Anastasia Catholic School, Fort Pierce, Florida
"It was indeed an honor to be able to attend your presentation. Your presentation is very appropriate and is much needed in protecting other youth and their families from making that fatal decision to use drugs."
Noreta Bish, Prevention Specialist, Polk County Safe & Drug-Free Schools, Winter Haven, Florida
.....this message seemed to bring the stark reality home to the members of our student body. The Alumbaugh's were honest and open about their experience and did not attempt to gloss over any of the gruesome details. I feel certain that many of our students are still visualizing the clear pictures they painted of that fateful morning when they found their beloved son dead."
Linda Easom, Assistant Principal, John Carroll High School, Fort Pierce, Florida
"Minutes, no seconds after Debbie began speaking, an eerie silence descended upon the crowd. Indeed, these teenagers knew what she was talking about and were gripped with fear and sorrow as she explained the dangers of designer drugs."
Nancy Williams, Activities Director, St. Augustine High School, St. Augustine, Florida
"When you have a cafeteria with 600 ninth graders on a Friday afternoon and can hear a pin drop without asking them once to settle down you can tell that it is a powerful message. Thank you so much for giving of yourselves to make a difference in the lives of all of us."
David J. McDonald, Ed.D, Principal, Middleburg High School, Middleburg, Florida
