Wayland Town Crier 3/3/10: Hypnotist entrances audience at Great Presenters Series. A former high school English teacher at Keefe Tech in Framingham, Virginia Slep of Wayland retired last year after more than 40 years. However, that doesn’t mean she’s stopped teaching. From her private practice, she now gives a different kind of instruction. As the speaker for the third event in the Wayland Library’s "Great Presenters Series," she had the audience entranced last Thursday, speaking about the potential of hypnosis as a method of alternative healing.
