Hi John,

Thank you so much for being such a great teacher and being so patient with my Dad.  I have had fun watching him focus and try hard during his lessons.  I think the lessons have given him a bright spot in his day, both the physical aspect of it (great exercise — he sleeps like a baby at night) and the mental aspect.  For someone who has so much difficulty remembering little everyday details, he always replied with “Air!” when I quizzed him on what keeps him from sinking.  Hopefully down the line, our schedules will mesh and he can continue with another set of lessons.  I am also hoping to get him to use a snorkel and then someday try the ocean!

Thanks again – Ruth
