Elizabeth (Liz) Alger is a retired clinical social worker and operations director for WellSpan Health. An interest in World War II led her to visit historically significant sites in England and France and to travel more widely in the United Kingdom. While hiking in the Scottish Highlands, she became close friends with three fellow hikers, all English. These friendships led to extended visits and a wider knowledge of the UK.
