Melody Lauer of Central Iowa Defensive Training asked an interesting question on FB:
Something I think is under-rated in this industry is the usefulness of taking a class again… and again… and again.

There is real knowledge and skill to be gleaned from taking the same class more than once.
There are classes I intend to take again…. what are yours?
