>You lucky dog. It's been about thirty years, but I remember that part of New York as very beautiful, but economically distressed. Enjoy the trip.

used to live there

>My wife and I are both from about there, she from Clinton and I from down the road. There is a neat saw mill in the area. Computer controlled log sawing and otherwise highly automated. They saw mostly maple and cherry. It is a great place to see 300,000 feet of cherry on the yard. It is about 5 miles toward Vernon Center.

My brother told me that there is a huge antique show/flea market sometime in the summer at Madison, but I have never been.

>what a coincedence, I got my wood tech degree in morrisville not too far from there. Madison may be worth checking out, but there is a HUGE flea market in bouckville right on 5 and 20, you can't miss it (if you get into hamilton, you've went too far) good luck....if there's a place to find a #1 in the rough, I think that's it. I'm jealous as I live too far away now......

Gary B, who lost a good part of his fingertip on the edge sander today....making me like hand tools more.

My wife's name is Anne Hutchison. She finshed high school in 1981 i think. Her dad was the football coach for a long time, and she has 5 brothers and sisters too. Ask your wife if she knows any of the Hutchison's. It is a small world. Thanks Ralph

I remember...

>Someone called him Hutch in gym class and he took revenge on my cap, tearing the visor off. It was reasonable to presume I was involved in any insubordination but this one time I was not. He mellowed after the first year but if he is still alive tell him he owes me a cap. I played football one year when I was the second biggest kid in the class, but wisely quit when everyone else grew, and I didn't.
