The subjects of this edition of the Woodland Lake “MEET THE NEIGHBOR” are Professor Gordon Osing and his wife, Professor MJ Fenwick. The couple moved to Woodland Lake in 1997 and built their home in a secluded and thickly wooded cove.
Both Gordon and MJ are retired professors from the University of Memphis. They now spend their time enjoying our beautiful environment, each in their own way.
