They give of their time to pass on information to help Villagers learn the game. We train (in recent years) as many as 5000 people a year. So we know this program works. Our classes have no place for an ATTITUDE.

Thanks for giving us the other side of the situation, although I had suspected as much. We've been playing for ten years and started out with PB 101, 102 (twice), and 103 (twice), followed by several intermediate clinics given by Jeff S, which involved six instructors. All in all, we've worked with about 30 instructors and NEVER ONCE had an issue. They were all great, gracious people. We are so lucky to have such a group of volunteers.
And no, I'm not related to any of them!
