ASK JACKSON

The Southeast Missourian asked people about lessons they have taken.

Shirley Coomer: "I took eight weeks of sewing lessons years ago. I have been sewing for a long time, and I am starting an embroidery business soon."

Julie Welch-Platz: "Years ago I took swimming lessons in the summer. I took them for four or five years. Now my kids are taking swimming lessons."

Eric Venable: "I took piano lessons from my mother when I was five until I was 17 and continued some in college. I still play piano in my home occasionally for my own enjoyment."

Kelly Beasley: "I took ice skating lessons about two years ago. It has made my legs stronger so that I can run faster. I still skate now and then."

Heather Tuschhoff: "I have been taking softball pitching lessons from one of the high school pitchers, usually once a week. It has helped me with the Jackson summer league."
