Here's a clip from the gypsy
"We are between Corning, NY and Watkins Glen, NY on the southern edge of the Finger Lakes area. Today we went around the Corning Glass museum, and it was well worth the admission. It was so hard to believe that some of the items were really three thousand years old, and in pretty good condition. Jim was extremely interested in the current applications with regards to optics etc.
I have a small collection of an American glassblowing artist, Josh Simpson. His work has always intrigued me. Anyway, instead of buying a junk souvenir, I added another piece to my collection The young lady who unlocked the case, and assisted me, told me that he was on the Board of Corning Glass, and visited there frequently.....would love to meet him. I think Jim bought me my first piece back in 1988.
We leave here on Wednesday, a quick overnight en route, and into Hanscom AFB, by Boston for several weeks. Fuel is so outrageous ( we use diesel), so we are spending more funds on campgrounds, and sightseeing with the Scion, and much less on moving the RV!"
So get ready you people in New England, she's a coming !
