    Tom! He wasn't my instructor but He was my tester and everyone DREADED getting him for testing because he's such a stickler for everything. I was scared to death. He was so kind and reassuring. After my test he said I did the best traffic checks he'd seen in a long time and I was so PROUD of that.

    His students were the best in the class I think. You got lucky gearrat!

    I have been home the past few days. Been very sick with flu. Finally starting to feel better and cant wait to get back to my training. I will have a new mentor when I return.
