Dear Randy,
I understand that you will receive the Dwight D. Opperman Award on Wednesday, March 16, 2011. You are a splendid choice to receive this award. You have served with great distinction as a justice on the Supreme Court of Delaware and you have been highly respected throughout your tenure. Taking the judicial oath is short and simple the succeeding work is a lifetime challenge.

In addition to your work as a judge, you have provided wonderful help and guidance in getting schools across our country acquainted with our website www.iCivics.org to teach students about our government. What inspires others is the steady and unwavering commitment to the simple virtues of citizenship: knowledge, industry, integrity and commitment to community. You have demonstrated these qualities in your day-to-day life in a splendid way.

Your selection for the Dwight D. Opperman Award should be enthusiastically applauded by people inside and outside of Delaware. I join your family and your many friends and colleagues in saluting you.

Sincerely,
Sandra Day O’Connor
