I was brand new and self taught. A fairy tale woman walked in, hunched over with a cane and the air in the room changed. Everyone became reverent and respectful. She walked up to me, looked at my hats and asked if I had any formal training...I of course replyed no. She then said gave me some unexpected and amazing compliments to me whilst everyone watched. Then she told me to call F.I.T. the next day, to register for classes and instucted me to take ALL my classes with her. Suffice to say, that did not happen, but I did get to take Bridal with her until she had to leave because of illness. I cherish her input to this day and will always be grateful for the "tough love" she gave me. <BR/><BR/>Linda AshtonBongohathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17594968004223835692noreply@blogger.com
