Dear Mr. Ireland:
Thank you and The Topeka Capital-Journal for all the love and support you have shown me, my family and the Kansas State Basketball team during my four years there at Kansas State University.
Please extend my appreciation to all of the great fans and people of Kansas for their incredible encouragement and support. I would also like to thank GoPowerCat, goEMAW and those who serve and protect our country at Fort Riley.
The opportunity to attend Kansas State University was an awe-inspiring experience for me and my family. The education I received is first rate. The friends I gained and the overall experience of taking part in NCAA Division I men’s basketball was great!
I enjoyed my time in Manhattan and I will miss all of those who allowed me to excel and flourish during my tenure. Again, thank you for everything and God bless each and every one of you!
RODNEY MCGRUDER,
Upper Marlboro, Md.
