Participant Testimonials:

"I think the format of the class was excellent. The class was full of people who had studies Holmes extensively, as has the leader, and this made for intricate, and interesting discussions."

"Tom was very well versed in his topic, but had no reservations stating that he did not know an answer. He was an interesting presenter who brought the class into discussion without pressing anyone. I especially liked that he enlarged the topic to include social customs etc of the era."
