Perhaps you, too, are on the mailing list for "The Great Courses," an extensive catalog of learn-at-home college classes on everything from calculus to Japan to crafting better sentences. Always up for some self-improvement, I was paging through the catalog and noticed a testimonial from Kennett Square resident Roy Wetterholt, reporting that the course he took helped "keep my mind sharp and my knowledge fresh."
Always curious, I Googled him in hopes of emailing him and finding out which course he had taken -- only to learn that he had passed away in the spring of 2017. Would anyone who knows his family members let them know of his posthumous fame? Perhaps they will enjoy seeing his name in print.
Two local professors who give these courses include Sharon Latchaw Hirsh, the president of Rosemont College ("How to Look at and Understand Great Art"), and Kevin Flanigan of West Chester University ("Building a Better Vocabulary").
