1609.0. "1992 MASS/NH Get Togethers" by ESMAIL::ESOMS (Trusting in the Universe) Tue Jan 28 1992 20:53

                            ARE YOU 

                    PLANNING ON VISITING THE

                MASSACHUSETTS / NEW HAMPSHIRE AREA

If so, let us know.  We can plan a get together so those of us who can
attend can meet you and you can meet us.  These are really good times.

[Jamie, this means you too.  I understand you visited a few months ago
without a personal "Roasting."  No more of that.  It goes for all the
rest of you who have come in for a meeting or program and didn't an-
nounce your presence here.  That's a must for the future.]


                      FOR NOTERS WHO LIVE 

                          IN THE AREA

                WE'RE GOING TO BE HAVING REGULAR

                DINNERS EVERY OTHER MONTH OR WHEN

                     A VISITOR IS IN TOWN

The next dinner or gathering will be in March.  Will post location and
time as we get closer.  

We use to have these dinners on a regular basis.  Many people from this
notes file got to meet each other and have become closer.  It's been a 
long time since the last gathering so we're making this a New Years 
Resolution to start again.  It was fun then, we'll have more fun this
year.

For all you read only's and those not comfortable about getting toget-
her, I'd like you to know this is one of the warmest groups around.  
Please, if you'd like to attend a gathering, muster up your energy 
and come.  Bring a friend or co-worker, all welcome.   If you really 
question it, please write me off line.  I'll work with you to make it 
as comfortable as possible for you to attend.  We'd really like to get 
to know you.

My mail address is:  

          Vaxmail -  ESMAIL::ESOMS
          A1 -  ESOMS @BUO

The mail address is a business account (mine, no one else has access to
it) and I do use it for some personal matters too.  So feel free to 
write me if you have any questions or concerns.

Any suggestions for places to dine are welcomed.  Our group is usually
about 10-15 and we can get a bit loud.  

Lets have a great year.

    re: .3 (Roger)
    
         Based on your entries in WEST_COAST_SINGLES, it seems to me
    that you've been out more often than that.
    
    ;-)

1609.5All of you are welcome anytime ESMAIL::ESOMSTrusting in the UniverseWed Jan 29 1992 15:4512
    Roger,
    
    You're welcome to visit as often as you wish.  Please keep us posted
    on when you'll be here.  August is a bit of a way off.
    
    Frederick,
    
    Don't worry about Roger's visits.  You make it out here often too.  :^)
    BTW, when are you planning on visiting again.  Never mind just posting
    it in Woman's Notes.

    Well, then - can somebody tell me where Danvers, MA is?  I'm going to
    be there 3/1-6 (I think; it won't be confirmed till 2/10) but so far
    nobody I've asked knows where that is.

1609.7You're in the neighborhoodESMAIL::ESOMSTrusting in the UniverseWed Jan 29 1992 23:317
    Ginny,
    
    Danvers is just North of Boston on the coast.  Not to far from
    where I am.  Keep us posted and we'll plan a get together when
    your here.

1609.8Let's submerge the midwest and draw the coasts together.MISERY::WARD_FRMaking life a mystical adventureThu Jan 30 1992 12:4810
    re: .5 (Joanne)
    
         It's been nice meeting you on both previous occasions...
    I have no plans to visit again...any foreseeable time soon.
    Too bad you "all" aren't closer; maybe a few more earthquakes
    will do it?  ;-)
    
    
    Frederick
    
1609.9CGVAX2::CONNELLVisualize whirled peas!Thu Jan 30 1992 13:1110
    Ginny, I spent a week in Danver's one night. :-) Removing the power
    train on a rambler. (Note I said Rambler. Not AMC) Sealed drive shaft
    and had to remove whole power train to get to freeze plug between
    engine and transmission.
    
    Danver's is located off Rte. 128/95 just outside of Boston. About 10-12
    miles. It's also minutes away from Peabody and Salem (Infamous Witch
    Trials and Executions). Nice town. Hope to see you when you come up.
    
    PJ
1609.10ESMAIL::ESOMSTrusting in the UniverseThu Jan 30 1992 13:5720
    Frederick,
    
    Was actually looking forward to seeing you again this year.
    Thought that maybe your visits were going to be a regular yearly 
    event.  Will have to figure out something other than an
    earthquake to attract you here I guess.  Won't be the same this
    summer.
    
    PJ,
    
    On my way home last night I realized the note I put in about 
    Danvers was really poor.  Wasn't even sure if Danvers had a shore
    line.  Thanks for writing what you did.  Much more interesting.
    
    Also, Ginny, I'm working in Burlington, MA  just off Route 128
    that PJ mentioned.  Do keep us posted.

1609.11Nit alert! Nit alert!REGENT::BROOMHEADDon't panic -- yet.Thu Jan 30 1992 15:0410
    PJ,
    
    Actually, the "Infamous Witch Trials and Executions" occured in
    
    			Danvers
    
    which used to be named Salem Village.  The town never prospered under
    that name, and it was changed to Danvers in the 1920's.
    
    						Ann B.
1609.12SCARGO::CONNELLVisualize whirled peas!Thu Jan 30 1992 15:2721
    Ann, I knew that and even considered mentioning it. I just didn't want
    to confuse the issue with facts. :-) thanks for posting it, though.
    
    It's funny, and this is taking the string down a Rathole, but I never
    minded being in Danver's. However, I just feel creepy and I guess "bad
    vibes" and such come over me whenever I'm in downtown Salem. Maybe it's
    in how they have commercialized on what has to be one of the most
    horrendous periods in our nation's herstory, and we weren't even a
    nation then. i don't know. I just get a feeling of pure evil permeating
    the air when I'm there. Portsmouth NH does it to me too. 
    
    Understand, that it's just the downtown areas and not just crossing the
    lines into these towns. It's a shame too, because these cities have
    done a lot of rejuvenation work on their downtowns and I like to shop
    as much as the next person, even moreso then most men. (He said
    stereotypically). Anyway, Salem, I stay away from when I can help it.
    Thanks for the NIT Ann, and keep 'em coming.
    
    Now back to your regularly scheduled party planning.

1609.14Welcome GinnyESMAIL::ESOMSTrusting in the UniverseMon Feb 10 1992 21:5611
    
    Ginny Ferguson is going to be here the first week in March.
    The tentative schedule Ginny has shows that she's free on
    Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday nights.  
    
    I'd like to know what nights are best for you and would 
    like to get some restaurant suggestions (please suggest
    restaurants close to major roads so they're easy to find).
    
    Joanne Peachwall
    
1609.15RUBY::PAY$FRETTSWill,not Spirit,is magneticTue Feb 11 1992 10:545
    
    Wednesday is the best night for me.  I have school on Tuesday,
    3/3 and Friday 3/6.
    
    Carole
1609.16suggestionsTNPUBS::STEINHARTTue Feb 11 1992 14:3915
    Wednesday is best for me.
    
    What would be the most central location?  I assume people are coming
    from New Hampshire, the North Shore, Boston area, and western suburbs.
    
    Therefore, I propose a meeting place near Rt. 495 between Lowell and
    Andover.  If someone's house is available for a non-smoking potluck,
    wouldn't that be the best?  Otherwise, we'd need a restaurant where we
    can sit and talk, which offers vegetarian entrees.  I assume we will
    have vegetarians among us.  There are several Chinese restaurants that
    fit the bill, aren't there?
    
    We need an estimate of how many plan to attend.

    re: .16 (Laura)
    
         ...has DEC been getting to me?  I read "a non-smoking potluck"
    as "a non-pot-smoking luck"... (I was curious as to what that might
    have meant.)

1609.20Please let me know where and whenESMAIL::ESOMSTrusting in the UniverseThu Feb 13 1992 15:5215
    Still waiting to hear from those wishing to attend.  I've 
    received notes from others requesting different days.  I'd 
    like to hear from everyone and know what your preference is
    so a prefered date can be scheduled soon.
    
    I'd also like to hear about restaurants you recommend.  Even
    if you can't make this dinner but know of an establishment
    you think we might like, please let me know.  It's best to 
    have a place that has a buffet or dinners and can seat up to
    20 people and easy to get to (off a major highway).  It should
    also have a bar and serve items for the vegetarians. Should also
    be reasonable (average bill for our outtings has been a bit under
    $20 per person.

1609.21Still time to sign upESMAIL::ESOMSTrusting in the UniverseMon Feb 24 1992 22:0330
    Have had several suggestions for restaurants but one
    keeps coming up as a good place to go.  It's called
    the Athenian Corner and is in Lowell.   I have made
    reservations for Wednesday, March 4th.  Will get 
    directions to everyone before next Wednesday.
    
    Other restaurants were suggested, but few were 
    recommended.  I was looking for a Chinese, Indian, or
    Thai restaurant in the Route 495/Route 3 area and 
    only got 1 recommendation for a Chinese restaurant
    besides the Athenian Corner.
    
    So far we have the following planning on attending:
    
    	Ginny		Laura & husband
    	Carole		Cindy (for a short time)
    	Mikki		Beth

    there. However, I didn't get home from work untilafter 9 for the last 3
    nights running and it looks like another late one.

    PJ,
    
    It was a good gathering.  Lots of new faces and some
    familiar ones.  It was a getting to know each other
    time.  
    
    The restaurant wasn't bad, but it's really not a 
    place for large gatherings.  Service slow, but then
    the food was cooked to order (in many cases).  I'm
    glad I went.  Enjoyed meeting everyone and missed
    you and those who couldn't make it.  Next time.

    anyone is going to be here sooner.
    
    I'll wait for a bit to see what's happening with visitors and
    then schedule a dinner around a visit or during July.  It's 
    time we had another gathering.
