Heading to Asheville next weekend for the first time since Helene. We're meeting up with my daughter and her fiance at the Grove Park to scout potential wedding venues at the property. Any new restaurants, bars or attractions we need to check out?

I just got back in town last night. I’ll ask around about what might have happened over the summer.

Congrats.

Those old folks can be trouble though...

As an old, that sounds great! How does it differ from auditing a class? My first class with UNC History Professor E. Willis Brooks was Russian History from about 1850-1905.

I remember a couple who were about 65ish auditing the class. They didn’t take tests or write papers.

Do these “students” write papers and take tests?
 
I can only guess but I imagine they’ll get an email address, a Zoom Account, and access to the teaching platform. Personally I’d prefer they not take tests or write papers but writing daily reflections I’d encourage. I’d also guess under this arrangement they can be a full-on student if they want. THAT, however, probably leads to paid enrollment after 1 or 2 classes. I’d also imagine they’d get bounced if the class is full and has a waitlist.
 
Not as cool as I originally thought:

Public health and contemporary Philosophy seems pretty cool
 
Julian Price died as a result of injuries sustained in an automobile accident while en route to his mountain estate at Blowing Rock, on the eve of the third anniversary of the death of his beloved wife Ethel. In memory of their father his children established a professorship in life insurance at The University of North Carolina; funded with an original endowment of $80,000, it increased in value to $500,000 in the 1970s. Also, together with Jefferson Standard Life Insurance Company, they gave their father's estate in the mountains of western North Carolina to the U.S. government as a part of the Blue Ridge Parkway, which is called the Julian Price Memorial Park.
