"Hello, My name is Laura Whalen, I'm a Personal Chef as well as a proud graduate of John Robert Powers. I attended the school on Delaware Ave., in Buffalo, NY during the years of '75-'76 (not exactly sure of dates)... As a successful Personal Chef, Nutritional Consultant and Personal Trainer I feel I owe a measure of my success to Powers.
Your training gave me the confidence to put my best foot forward in every situation. I was hoping to have my 17 year-old son attend for some polishing... Warmest regards … ”
