Praise for Ingebretsen's and Kari!

Dear Ingebretsen’s,

Please thank your management staff for sponsoring the Runes and Advanced Runes classes.
I drove up from Albert Lea to attend both classes and it was well worth the trip. Kari Tauring was an excellent instructor. I only wish we could have had more time.

Again, thank you for providing these classes.

Ha det bra,
Rita Peterson
