It was a true pleasure to meet Ron. My student cast felt very connected
to him.
Everyone in the audience loved Ron - they gave him a standing
ovation.
Quote: "Inviting a speaker from Witness to Innocence to our campus was an
invaluable part of our DEAD MAN WALKING School Theatre Project. Mr. Ron
Keine brought an often humorous but always human and personal perspective
to the topic of the death penalty. My students' understanding of this
issue has been profoundly deepened by the words and experiences of this
man." Dr. John H. Taylor, Associate Professor Adams State College
The talk, I think went very well. It was fairly well
attended, and was incredibly moving. I can also say that
Ron is an amazing guy. A lot of people from SLA had a
wonderful time after the talk hanging out with him, and
Erin and I really enjoyed our time with him before the
talk.
Some thoughts on the talk:
Ron Keine's talk on the modern death penalty was equally
enlightening, heart-breaking, and enraging. I was shocked
at what had happened to him and to others in the same
situation. No one can support capital punishment on any
grounds after such a presentation of facts.
Feel free to publish the above if you wish.
Thank you so much for making this event possible. I hope
that SLA and Amnesty can have Ron (or another speaker)
some time in the near future for another event.
Sincerely,
Rob

Note Ron also got a standing ovation for this speach as he did at UCLA a week before
