Hello! Mr. Roneberg

I am interpret for team Australia during World Cup in Taiwan

I found your great web by chance

'Skull' (Brett) is a great player and a nice man
All team members and I enjoyed the wonderful time with him in Taiwan
He mention his family many times as we chatting
You must be proud of having this great son!

Here are some photos that I took during the competition

The link is my article wrote for 'Skull'

Hope you like these photos

A "Thank You" note sent back to Sophiyah

Hello Sophiyah

Nice to meet you via email!!

THANK YOU for the photos!! ...... they are great, and we appreciate you taking the time to send them to us

It was nice to read your comments about Brett
Yes, we are proud of him, both as a young man and for all he has achieved so far in his baseball career

He really enjoyed his time in Taiwan ...... a terrific experience!!
The only disappointment was his hand injury which kept him from playing at his best

He is looking forward to going back to Taichung during March next year ...... the Australian Team is playing in the Qualifying Tournament for the Beijing Olympics
His hand injury 'should be all fixed by then', and Australia is very hopeful of gaining a place in the Olympics

I clicked on to your article ...... looked good ...... but I couldn't read a word ...... will have to learn Taiwanese!!

Once again, thank you for thinking of us

Regards

Geoff

Hi Mr. Roneberg

Sure I did visit your website on Wednesday
It is amazing!!

I feel embarrassed for you also put my photo on website

I am absolutely agreed that 'Skull' cannot play his best because of injury
I saw he asked Coach Jon for let he play
However, Jon wants to protect his right wrist first
'Skull' is a very important player for the team after all

I am sure he will play well in the Qualifying Tournament for Beijing Olympics
Of course he will play his best in Olympics as well

Thank you so much for replying my mail

I will be an interpreter for Aussies again in March 2008
Try to do my job well and help team win!

I am looking forward to see 'Skull' and everyone
Sure I will take more photos for 'Skull' then

Happy holidays!!
Please bring my blessing to 'Skull' and your family

Sincerely

Sophiyah Liu
