"I would recommend this class to others"
Honestly where do I start? There's so much to say that I could give a presentation on it! Alan, what have you created?! In all seriousness, the class was the best class I have ever taken. And as I told Alan, Alan has set the bar very high for other AMA  instructors. This was my first AMA class, and I was thoroughly impressed. Even if you had not asked me if I would recommend this class to others, I would do it on my own accord. I have nothing but praises - For the course material, the instructor, and my classmates.  Kudos to everyone that made this class so enjoyable. And I extend my sincerest thank you to you all. I've gained so much from this experience.
