[NFB-Krafters-Korner] Class

[Tammy Freitag]

Tracy,
I am so sorry that your 1st time experience was so disappointing.  I
know things happen and classes are missed or worst of all, we forget
to say thank you for all of your efforts.  I do GREATLY Appreciate ALL
of your efforts!!! Hopefully, you will give us another chance!

Take care!
Tammy
