John, there were quite a number of retired types taking the class. I will say that this class should be avoided if one doesn't have significanly more than the ten hours a week that the syllabus suggests (unless you do this for a living.) They will be offering other classes as soon as this fall so you haven't missed out on the only opportunity to participate. Now that I'm a little more aware of what these classes are like, I don't if I'll be signing up for a fall class. My wife and son are saying "yay, we get daddy back" so I can't say this experience has be quite as positive for them.
