I Was Enlightened

I wanted to first of all say “Thank You So Much” for the RMF Training class the week of 29 October!  I was enlightened as I’m sure many of the other students were.  I loved how we could see you (and occasionally your very curious cat!) in the Adobe Connect window – it made the class more personal vs. just listening to someone’s voice for 4 days.  You are a wealth of knowledge and every one of us has benefitted from that!
