Thanks Lou for a GREAT & informative course
Dr. Lou Covotsos(click here) made his debut with the Shepherd's Center family for the Spring Term with the course, Social History of Women and Children from the 19th Century to the Present. It was a smashing success and he is going to repeat it for this Fall Term on Thursdays at Eastminster.
