STUDENT TESTIMONIALS Your “Stay Or Go Homeowner” class is a valuable resource for anyone approaching that time of life. I was a fairly new widow when I took it, and while I had done many of the things mentioned, there were valuable details that I was glad to learn. It was reassuring to learn that I can stay in my home – unless I decide for other reasons to relocate to a seniors residence. ​ I’m also pleased to have the contacts and recommendations you provided, for home maintenance and down-sizing. I’m actively engaged in down-sizing as I can, to make it easier if and when a move is necessary. ​ I have told many of my friends about the class and I think a couple of them are planning to take it. I wish you success with your efforts to turn all of this into a book – you could reach even more people that way, although a book wouldn’t really take the place of the class discussions. ​ Dale Hill
