Dear Milton,
What an outstanding presentation you delivered recently! Your story was absolutely incredible. Your presence was most inspiring. Your message about success is one everyone needs to hear. I appreciated the opportunity to see a new perspective through your unique experience. While you may see things differently now, you obviously have clear vision about what success really means. Thank you for sharing your courage and determination. I admire your strong spirit and wish you much continued success as you move from "intimidation" to "inspiration"!

Dear Mr. Anthony,
On behalf of your colleagues at the Alabama Chapter of the National Speakers Association, I must say you really "nailed" your showcase presentation last Saturday. The true test of a professional speaker is the ability to respond to rigorous time constraints and still deliver the message powerfully and effectively. I was particularly impressed how you wove just the right amount of gentle humor into a story that could have been heavy and depressing.

Dear Milton:
Please know what a pleasure it was for me to meet you and hear you speak in Birmingham on Saturday. From the moment you took the podium, you had all of us in the audience captivated. Your talk was moving, eloquent, and funny, as well as motivational and informing. Yours is a remarkable story, and you tell it with conviction and sincerity. I do hope I can hear you speak again.
With all best wishes,
Randy Cross, Ph.D.

I am writing in reference of Mr. Milton Anthony. Mr. Anthony spoke at one of our school Parent Conference in Montgomery, Alabama in 2003. He was the guest speaker at our banquet. The speaker was asked to convey the message to the parent that their child (even with disabilities) can succeed. It didn't matter what their disabilities were, there are some things that they can do if given the proper opportunities and training. Mr. Anthony was dead on the money. He gave short synopsis of his life. He told about his ordeal and what he had gone through to get where he was today. He had the audience waiting to see what would happen next to him. He told of his good times and his bad times. He told of his ups and his downs. He told how some days he cried and some days he laugh. It was all part of his accepting his disability and moving on to live a productive life. He has done just that. Mr. Milton left the parents feeling that if he can do it, then their child can do it. He was asked to motivate the parents and that he did. He used humor to keep the audience in tune to what he was presenting. Mr. Anthony has excelled in life despite of all the obstacles in his life. He was a good speaker for my parents and he said what they needed to hear. Please, feel free to contact me, if you have further questions. My email address is dharv@aidb.state.al.us

Milton Anthony has a fascinating life story. As he tells it, you will not move in your chair, but he will keep you on the edge of your seat. His optimism, determination and commitment in the face of great odds is spellbinding.
