I haven't talked to this guy in ten years, but I did a bunch of recurrent training with a master CFI named Kevin Olson when I was in a flying club based at Crystal. I would recommend him as a committed, calm, and very competent instructor. His website is http://www.centerlineflight.com/
I also did a ton of training at Wings in St. Paul, and they were a great outfit back in the day, but that was in the early 90's.
