“Thank you so much for arranging InDesign training for Menninger employees. The training was terrific. And what a treat to get Marc as our instructor. He is definitely imbued with patience and teaching sensitivity, plus he knows his subject. Your facility is very comfortable. And as the ultimate Starbucks snob, I have to admit even your coffee is pretty good. Thanks again.”
