Dr. Allan D. Forsman Associate Professor Health Sciences 249F John P. Lamb Hall East Tennessee State University Johnson City, TN 37614

Dear Doctor Forsman:

I am writing this letter to thank you for kindly granting me permission to use your Anatomy and Physiology

VidCasts for non-profit instructional use on my website, LawrenceGAltman.com. The reviews have been

overwhelmingly favorable. Already, students and faculty from the Connecticut State University system are

also expressing delight at being able to conveniently access your work. You must have spent an enormous

amount of time putting this collection together! I have attached lead-in footage to each video that

acknowledges your personal generosity and the name of your institution.

My students genuinely admire your style of delivery. One of my sections judged your work to be “the

resource of choice” over all the bells and whistles commonly found on the Internet. Others mentioned that

they could not imagine studying the skeletal system without your guiding voice. These are sincere

assessments by individuals who regularly view your lessons with skeletal parts in-hand. The fact that they

can review their assignments at home on our website simply reinforces their progress. You have managed to

add a new dimension to studying what ordinarily turns out to be a tedious task. Sometimes, a simple video

hosted by a very talented professor, trumps all other modes of delivery. You have succeeded in doing

exactly that. Would you be so kind as to send me the names of your Chair, Dean etc. so that I can also let

them know of our admiration. Please do not be modest, here. We are very, very grateful!!

Sincerely,

Lawrence G. Altman, Ph.D.

Associate Professor
