376.2Directions to Tufts wantedDEVMKO::BROWN_JI llove my llamas!Wed Jan 26 1994 09:5419
We have an appointment at Tufts tomorrow and have no idea
where the place is -- when I tried to get the receptionist
to give me directions she just said it's on Route 30 in
North Grafton and they have a big sign.  She clearly thought
that's all I needed to know, but since we don't know that
area (we live in NH) I remain skeptical!

Can anyone give directions from Rt 495 or some other major
road?  

Thanks in advance, and keep your fingers and paws crossed
for us -- "Jennifur" has been diagnosed with fibrosarcoma on
her face and it doesn't look good.  Our vet talked to Tufts
and they seemed to be relatively optimistic about radiation
treatments so she's going in to be evaluated.  This is very
nerve-wracking...

    495S to Rt9 Westboro to Rt 30 Grafton.
    
    Tufts is about 15-20 minutes from 495.  It's on the right, and you
    can't miss it.
    
    
376.5USCTR1::WOOLNERYour dinner is in the supermarketWed Jan 26 1994 12:567
    It's on the right if you're going west?  I live not far from there and
    it seems they have buildings on both sides, but the sign and most of
    the buildings are on the south side of the (east-west) road.
    
    Or is the clinic way far from the school?

376.6Tufts was found, thanksDEVMKO::BROWN_JI llove my llamas!Thu Jan 27 1994 14:529
Thanks for the directions all, especially Sandy who dropped in
and drew a detailed map!  Ron found them with no problems,
right where y'all said they were.

Unfortunately they are unable to help poor Jennifur, we have
very little time left with her I fear...

    Many hugs and prayers to you, Ron, and Jennifur.  Treasure the
    time you do have...spoil her rotten...and try to stay strong.
    
    For those of you that don't know...Jennifur was a former Pat Brody
    kitty who literally attached herself to Jan when she came to visit.
    What was really amazing was Jennifur really didn't pay attention to
    any human prior to meeting Jan.....but there was no way Jennifur was
    going to let Ron and Jan leave without her!!!!  I remember that day so
    well and I KNOW Jennifur has known love and couldn't have asked for
    a better Mom and Dad!!
    
    Jan...please keep us posted.
