After Marvin Stockwell’s wife took a knife skills class through the University of Memphis continuing education program — and loved it — he started thinking about teaching a class himself.
“The instructor, Melissa Petersen at Edible Memphis, was sharing her knowledge, based on what she already knows and loves to do,” says Stockwell. “I thought, I’ll go ahead and teach a class.”
Stockwell, public relations manager for the Church Health Center (as well as a local musician and a writer), routinely gives advice to groups interested in starting their own Church Health Center-like programs.
