Hank Gougelmann, Del Webb Resident
Each of the courses that I participated in consisted
of an interesting topic pursued and enriched by an
academic instructor. The classes were small enough in
population to allow question and answer time. On some
occasions, travel to nearby sites enriched the subject
matter we had covered. I feel I gained new knowledge
and many new friendships.
Pat Gougelmann, Del Webb Resident
I have enjoyed the opportunity and convenience of
experiencing many of the interesting courses offered
over the past several semesters. The content and
materials presented by well qualied professionals
helped me better appreciate the subject matter. The
classes also gave me the opportunity to meet fellow
neighbors and form new and exciting friendships.
Betty Wheeler, Del Webb Resident
My initial decision to re-locate to Sun City Anthem
was based on the ASU connection and the opportunity
to explore topics of interest that I now have the time
to pursue. The convenience and reasonable costs have
allowed me to explore a variety of subjects. Through the
lifelong learning program I have enjoyed touring the
PBS studios in Phoenix and the opportunity to take
other eld trips. My denition of retirement is to keep
the brain working even if the body is slowing down.
Bruce Porter, Community Scholar
I have spent most of my adult professional life teaching
in a technical eld. For years I have studied and
practiced art in various forms as a hobby. Now I have
the time to combine my love of both art and teaching
to help others enjoy the satisfaction of expressing their
lives and experiences as works of art.
