If anyone is interested in attending a tour of the Frederick Collection in Ashburnham, MA either the day prior to the M&H tour or the day after, should contact me and I will try to organize a PW group tour.

Hi Terry,

Count me in either way.

You know I would love to go.

John

Darn!! The timing is off again. I will be in Las Vegas and Phoenix during that time.

Off subject... looking for some travel info. Wife and I are planning on driving out for the M&H tour and want to spend some time on the east coast...planning the week...not all piano stuff (trying to do the Frederick tour...but). Any tips on what to see, what not to see. PM me if you want...thanks, Les

John.. somehow I knew you'd be wanting to go!

Lee.. Do you really reside in MA???

Les... I'll get an email off to you with some sightseeing suggestions, (other than the Frederick collection :p )

Terry,
Roberta and I are not going to the M&H Tour this year but might be interested in the Frederick Collection tour. Roberta is not able to make it on Tuesday - I will have to check with her about Thurs.
Ed

Hi Ed.. If I don't receive any responses from out of state members who plan to attend the M&H tour, we can go ahead and schedule a tour date that works best for just a local group. Maybe you have some neighbors who might be interested in joining you and Roberta for a ride over the bridge??!!

In the meantime, let me know if Thursday works for Roberta.

How about you, John???

I'm still tryin to talk the wife into two whole days of piano...on a vacation...lol don't schedule anything around us... thanks Terrytunes...your the best

Hi Terry,

My son and I would love to come but it is a school week. I already plan to have him take a day off for the M&H tour.

Hi Terry,

Any day is good as long as it isn't near or on the end of the month!


John

haha Terry. Someone on the Crossfire forum asked if I own an airline. Yes, I still reside in MA (for now) and no, I do not own an airline, I collect frequent flier miles as a hobby.

Count me in,

It is actually easier to go during the week for me ...

Larry

Terry-

I may be able to go. Will have to come alone, as hubby can't do 2 days off work. And that will depend on my NOT getting lost on the way- not necessarily out of the question. I am hopelessly geographically challenged! LOL Either day is fine with me.

Thanks for the info TT...wife and I are setting our schedule...

Hi Terry,
Yes Thursday works.
Ed

Depending on which day the tour would be held, my wife and I would like to attend. We would prefer Thurdsday as we will be traveling back to Western New York State.
Tony

On my initial post to this thread, I have added an attendee listing for those of you requesting a visit to the study center.

This evening I forwarded an email to Pat Frederick advising her for the requested date of Thursday, May 3rd. When I receive her reply, I'll update a time schedule and we'll take it from there.


MAK... if I was able to locate the Frederick Study Center on my own, trust me, you won't have a problem. If you'd like to consider meeting up with me someplace, we could drive out together in my car. It would be fun.


Ed B & Tony F: I've alerted Pat to attendees joining us from the Cape and others planning to travel back to upstate NY on the same day. We'll see what she can do to accommodate a timely schedule that will suite everyones needs.

Thanks, Terry. That could work. I know where Tewksbury is!! lol The only other hitch in the works is that our first chili cookoff is that Saturday. And my going will depend on how ready we are to head out on Friday. But I think we will be set. We have this stuff down to a science, trust me!! lol

Pat requests we setup a starting time that works for our group. Plan on the tour lasting 2-3 hrs.

Since Ed is coming up from the Cape and Tony needs to get back to NY; how does 10am work for everyone? Do we want to start earlier than 10am or later???

Ed... anyone else from the CC group planning to attend???

Terry:

We are flexible and 10am looks like a good time.
