"Excellent presentation and information. I especially appreciated the presenter's actual examples given to clarify and reinforce the information that he was presenting. There were so many additional notes that I made on the handouts that it took longer than the 6.25 hours to complete this course. This information will be useful to me, family members and friends as we travel through our later years. Thank you for having these quality programs for us."
