Thomaston, CT 2003

The following are photos and descriptions from
Thomaston, CT on January 25.

When I got to Joe Butkevicius' "Michael Lange Music" the ole speedo was right on 800.1. It was 7:30 Friday night and Joe was still working.  Wayne Tanabe was observing when I got there.  Then, we went to eat at one of Joe's favorite lunching spots.  Tomorrow was going to be a busy day.
