training classes in our careers and I can assure you this one was memorable.
Not only were you both versed you were knowledgeable beyond anyone's
expectations. The energy and passion you both exhibited is what impressed me
the most. You weren't there just teaching a class you were there "believing"
in the importance of what you were teaching. We here in Martin County have
talked about you daily, and have conveyed to others how impressive the class
was, and that the class was good because of YOU You certainly left no stone
unturned. I personally will take this experience as one of the best in my
