[Ccb-alumni] Favorite instructor story.

[Marty Rahn]

Right on!  Though I never had Diane as an Instructor, I can definitely say 
she tells it like it is.  I did have Tom, and he, Dave hyde, and Eddie Culpe 
were my three favorite instructors at the center when I went through ITP 
back in 1999/2000.  They were always there to listen, and never let me give 
up even when I desperately wanted to.  For that, they'll always have a 
special place in my heart.

>> This is a hard question to answer as all of my instructors helped to 
>> change
>> my life!  I would have to say the Diane McGeorge has probably had the
>> biggest impact on my life and success.  She has and continues to be a 
>> very
>> positive mentor for me.  She is always direct with me and tells me how it
>> is.  She has never said things in a way that made me feel inferior or 
>> said
>> them in a hurtful way.  I don't always like to hear what she is saying 
>> but I
>> have learned that she is much wiser then I and she is normally right!  I 
>> may
>> not like to hear some things she has the courage to say to me but I love 
>> her
>> for caring enough to say them to me.  She has often said that I am one of

>> I

>> Diane if you are reading this Thanks you and I love you!
