Client Comment:

 "I wanted to follow up and let you know how much Joel and I enjoyed our clinic last Thursday.  We learned a great deal and it was a great benefit for the rest of the weekend.  I would also be willing to be a reference for potential clients if that would be helpful to you."                                                                      Scott Myers, 11/2/04   scott.myers@honeywell.com
