Neil Blythin Posted August 4, 2013 Share Posted August 4, 2013 Hello Lyn. I'm 37 and just went back to college last year on a 3 yr program. I'll warn you that it's not an easy transition back into a school setting when you're 10 ~ 15 years (or more) older than all of your class mates, but I'm still finding it a very rewarding experience. Best of luck with your studies! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThomasPowers Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 Sure wish you had been around about a year ago last spring. My wife and I were in Brecon for a sheep and wool affair and I could sure have used a hot steel chaser! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
