“You recently trained twenty persons in preparation for the beginning of the Minneapolis Anti-Violence Initiative. You prepared material well prior to the event, made excellent presentations and demonstrations and followed through with proficiency evaluations during the entire course length – which was approximately sixteen hours in duration. Were it not for you being available, we may not have been able to launch this effort with the same degree of confidence and security that I feel we enjoy.” – Jim R.
“Let me add my thanks to the recognition – on your extraordinary help with the training.

Everyone involved appreciated your commitment of time and talent to this endeavor.”
– Dennis A.
