St. Benedict and St. John University is a unique and special place to me. Rarely do you find a university with a dress code and moral ethics in place. The students are so smart, and appreciative, of the comedy and the personal testimony. Maribeth, John, Ginny, Gwen, Chris, all the RA’s, all the OL’s. Nicole and Jen- great technical support! The students turned out to the tune of 1100 strong, with many of the ladies and men standing in the aisles for the whole show. I want to give a special thanks to those who were left standing. You are my heroes! Good luck on your first day of classes, and watch out for the Coronas!!! LOL You guys have a special place in my heart! Bernie
Thanks for a great show last night. I think you really got the message across to us. I had the same thing happen to my freind about a month ago. He was drunk, grabbed his keys, and was intent on driving home. My buddies tried to stop him, but couldn’t. The long and the short of it was that he was doing 110 mph through a neighborhood, lost it, and crashed into a house. It’s unfortunate that he had to go that far before he decided he needed to make changes in his life. Thanks again.
Bernie…your comedy speech and inspiration message was amazing..you were hilarious and so entertaining and you got your message out there to people who had your attention and listened to every single word!! thank you for your thoughts and trust me…you influenced many last night! keep it up u rock
Bernie- The speech you gave at CSB/SJU was empowering and impactful. Congratulations in your life that is now full of success. It assures me that my decision as well as others not to drink, is the right path for me. I as well as many others know of many who have lost their lives because of the impact drugs and alcohol can lead to. For those out there who stay clean…be strong. Thanks for the words of wisdom, it is much appreciated!

First off YOU ROCK! Your presentation was not only the funniest thing in the world, but I really believe that it inspired people to recgonize what they are doing with their lives. It was great to have an adult figure not “drill” into our heads that drinking was wrong, but rather accepted the fact that teenagers do it and took the initiative to give us first hand experience and information. Please keep up the great work. You truly are hilarious and your story will always stay with me…not to mention your joke about our sue happy America and suing your mother for being ugly!! Thanks again.
