I wanted to extend an invitation to each of you to attend a talk I am giving in Fall River on August 3rd, 7PM, at the 1st Congregational Church, 282 Rock Street.
The talk is called, "Show and Tell: The Documentary Life of Lizzie Borden." It is about the various documentaries on the case and Lizzie's life, including some of the ghost show segments. It is a free talk, but seating is limited and only on a first come first served basis. Here is a map for those who don't know the address.
I hope to see you there!
You do not have the required permissions to view the files attached to this post.
Watch out you don't get upstaged by Audrey and Tracy. Perhaps they shouldn't be allowed to be seated together. . .
I've met Kat and Harry and Stef, oh my!
(And Diana, Richard, nbcatlover, Doug Parkhurst and Marilou, Shelley, "Cemetery" Jeff, Nadzieja, kfactor, Barbara, JoAnne, Michael, Katrina and my 255 character limit is up.)
I was at 92 second street the night you gave the the talk last October, of course I knew nothing about it or the forum at the time. I probably will be going to Fall River at about the same time this year, September or October.
What is a Picture, but the capture of a moment in time.
Damnation, I wish I could come for the talk, but it's my birthday on the 3rd and I have other plans already. Besides, I have already requested off Aug. 10th thru the 14th at work. But it will be nice to take the tour of the house and see the city. If anyone is there around that time let me know.
Stefani,
I would love to be there but Dave goes on Friday for a surgical consult for a hernia. It always something!
Too bad we couldn't be there and celebrate our anniversary as well!
Good luck and have a great time!
Pam

As a word of warning, the projo articles are only free the first day. After that, I have found, they revert to the subscription plan. I just checked and the link works for me still.
