Am I to assume you don't approve of Sr. Ruffing? Apart from her lack of religious garb in the photograph (often telling, I'll admit) I can't see what may be plain to you.

It is up to your discernment. This the first of many teacher bio's I plan to highlight. The bio I link to is from her organization and the links are all pro-Sr. Ruffing.
If any one has had Sr. Ruffing as a teacher. I would be interested in reading their observations.
