    Re: Paul, “Reaching Out” (Nov. 14 issue) – Valencia College in Orlando is home to the second largest enrollment of veterans among Florida’s 28 state colleges (1,100 last spring). Unlike Anne Arundel Community College, we do offer a veterans-only class–in public speaking. The instructor, John Creighton, noticed that when veterans stood up to speak about their experiences, the poignant or difficult experiences that they described often went right over the heads of most of their classmates, motivating him to start a vets-only class. The new class has been a hit – and the students often come to the classroom beforehand to hang out and have worked on projects together.
