From one president to another: Roman Catholic student gets a letter from Obama-Great Story

[RamboLiberal]

And then also gets invitation to visit WH.

Stefan Johnson sent off the letter in February, not expecting an answer.

-----

Johnson, 18, had been elected student council president at Roman Catholic High, the first African American Catholic student to win the honor in the school's 120-year history.

"Thank you President Obama for inspiring me to do great things," Johnson wrote, describing for Obama the projects he had launched to improve the school. He described the president as more of an influence "than I can ask."

Johnson didn't give the letter much thought until three months later, when he received a large yellow envelope. Inside, he found a handwritten note:

"Stefan - Thanks for the letter. We are very proud of you, so keep it up," read the note, signed Barack Obama.
