Osher participants are raving about the Hanover Conservancy’s classes
Adair Mulligan and Gail McPeek have finished up another successful Osher session and the participants can’t stop raving about it! See what they had to say below:
“Gail and Adair are both talented teachers. It is a pleasure to listen to them; they are wonderful at answering all questions.”
“So knowledgeable!!!!!!! Learning by seeing!”
“Gail went above and beyond providing make-up hikes, due to the heavy rain on the day of our final hike.”
