R. of Neaton Rome, Inc. <blockquote>"I . . . have received more "chair time" in educational/continuing ed. classes than I care to count. Rarely have I scored a class this high. . . . The instructor was thorough in his explanations and at the same time not too redundant. The visual aids were excellent and the handouts provided will be put to good use at our facility. I was NOT disappointed. Looking forward to future classes from FSQC. . . . "</blockquote>- Craig Evans
