 E. B. White, Reconsidered (Winter Term 2025)

Participant Testimonials: 

Surpassed my expectations.  Knew it would be good, but it was great!

This was one of my top 3 best Osher classes of all time. I didn't know E.B. White at all and was capitvated by his writing and life's story. The fact the Jon was "part of the family" made it totally unique. He provided insights that nobody else could have - one of a kind!

Participant Testimonials: 

Jon engaged the entire class in enthusiastic discussions so I raised my understanding of Fitzgerald and made the acquaintance of people I hope to see more of. 

Jon was very organized, had enormous familiarity of his material, and was able to share what he knew in a way that involved the whole class.
