The opportunity for a "second chance" is a growing phenomenon. Some members of the Adult Learners Consulting Group, a dozen or so faculty and graduate students at the University of Dakota, who have a general interest in the related processes of learning and teaching, investigated the specific concern about the ways older-than-average students learn and the instructional methods most appropriate for them.

Mary Lou Fuller was born on January 31, 1929, in Bryn Mawr, Pennsylvania, United States, to Guy Jordan and Corinne (Wood) Jordan.
Fuller had yearnings to become a writer from an early age and satisfied them to the extent of writing occasional poems and stories for local periodicals or for important social gatherings. Feeling, however, that she needed to make a living at a more stable occupation, she studied industrial psychology at the University of Pennsylvania during the evenings. Fuller received her associate degree in industrial psychology from the University of Pennsylvania in 1956.
Early in her career, Fuller pursued a career of a writer and conducted personnel training programs for banks. She began to live in New England in the early 1960s, when she met Enoch “Red” Fuller, a New Hampshire native and her future husband, whose father had once been secretary of that state. She had established a career in hotel management. After the marriage, the Fullers decided to work together, first in managing the John Hancock Inn in Hancock, and after a few months, as owner-managers of the equally historic Fitzwilliam Inn in Fitzwilliam. Ten of the best years of the Fullers’ lives followed, as they worked hard and harmoniously.
Sadly, Red Fuller died in May, 1973. Mary Lou Fuller continued running the inn herself for a brief period, but when the chef died soon afterward, she decided to sell, and re-entered the field of bank personnel training. From there, she accepted a position as business manager of student dining for the University of New Hampshire. Finally, at age sixty, she felt it was time to devote herself to writing. She retired from her university position and became a partner in Kalm Publishing.
Fuller’s first book, A Horse in the Ladies’ Room, was a memoir of innkeeping, largely based on the detailed records her late husband kept of the day-to-day life and business of the Fitzwilliam Inn. To these, Fuller added her own recollections and considerable raconteurial skill. In the view of a New Hampshire Sunday News reviewer, Jack C. Barnes, the book is “essentially a memorial to her husband and the way his life touched so many others”. According to Barnes, the book was entertainingly written. Alluding to the various comic mishaps described in the book, the reviewer added, “The author, with the help of illustrator Jim Dugan, tempers each traumatic moment with more than a modicum of humor.”
A Horse in the Ladies Room was widely publicized in Fuller’s local area. A follow-up, Where Lame Donkeys Lie, published in the spring of 1998, is also a memoir. Fuller’s third book, On the Wings of a Unicorn, was described by the author, while in progress, as being “largely autobiographical”; it also, Fuller added, “pays tribute to the women who have ‘passed me from hand-to-hand’ sharing their strength and helping me survive spousal abuse in my first marriage and its ensuing emotional breakdown.”
One of Fuller's latest works, Sisters by Heart - Partners in Aging: A Memoir of Two Women, is by far her most poignant, whimsical and revealing work yet. Fuller published her book A New Beginning: Living on What I Learned After 70 in 2004.

Quotations:
"I do my best writing early in the morning. Occasionally in the middle of the night as well; particularly if I am lying awake. I snap on the light and jot down thoughts on the pad I keep nearby. I write in longhand first, sometimes only a page or two, and then put it on the computer, print it out, and do a quick re-write. By whittling away at a chapter or thought in small bits, I find my word choices are easier, more profound or more humorous."
"Writing has always been a spiritual adventure: cleansing, healing and cathartic. I kept journals for many years and these have become source materials for On the Wings of a Unicorn."
Quotes from others about the person
"Mary Lou's honest and often stark portrayal of the darker days of her life, is a testimonial to the inner strength and the possibility of living on and through. This is a book about the importance of friendship and the strength women can and do share." - Rebecca Rule about the book On the Wings of a Unicorn
"This book totally touched my heart. From the printed page, Mary Lou relives years of pain, abuse and growth to portray a woman's journey to spiritual awakening, self-reliance and acceptance. "On the Wings of a Unicorn" is a beautiful way to revisit and relive your own path to awakening and acceptance. - Jennifer Ares about the book On the Wings of a Unicorn
Fuller's first marriage unhappily led to what she told was an emotional crisis. She married Enoch D. Fuller in 1963 and they lived together in a loving marriage, shared their lives fully and adopted two children Joshua and Amey Fuller Cole. Unfortunately, Enoch died in 1973.
