Life's weird.

Next time you are out my way, drop me a line.

Where exactly ARE you, anyway? :-) I know you're Northeast of Yonkers, but
beyond that.....???

NE corner of CT, but I'm not that far by road from anywhere.

Near Storrs?


About 25 miles SW of me.

All the best,

Tom

Damn...I didn't think anyone actually lived in Tolland.


Tolland would be north of Storrs. I live in Woodstock.

I attended a "summer school" at Storrs between my junior and senior
years of high school. Stayed in one of a series of connected dorms
running up the side of a hill, Hartford Hall, I think. The cafeteria was
way up at the top, and it took forever to get there. So we ate at a
joint across the street called Freds. The best part of Storrs was a
UConn dairy facility where they served up great ice cream and sodas.
Storrs was dry back then. We improvised with OJ and terpin hydrate.
Why was I there. Some sort of statewide "civics" course that four lucky
winners from each public hs won...or some such silliness. It was for
three weeks. Pretty campus.


The creamery is still there and in the summer is still quite the
attraction.

And the campus has changed somewhat since you were there, but it still
is considered a beautiful campus.

Later,

Tom
