glil Posted July 15, 2007 Share Posted July 15, 2007 If anyone is on the fence about whether or not to take this class, TAKE IT. Simon and Jeff are both very skilled instructors and taught an excellent ocean skills class today. They have a very nice teaching style and gave all of us a lot of personal attention. So...don't pass up this opportunity if you want to learn rock gardening skills. Gay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alcoons Posted July 15, 2007 Share Posted July 15, 2007 Wish I could...sounds great...Mother-in-Law's 85th birthday seems to take priority. Unfortunately, she was not interested in the course. Al Al Coons Cetus-Red/White Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glil Posted July 15, 2007 Share Posted July 15, 2007 That's too bad, Al. Maybe if you had left out the word "rock" and just called it a gardening class, she might have taken you up on it. Gay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
