    I'm interested in organizing a parents' group for people who work in
    the Maynard area (i.e., MSO, PKO, MLO facilities).  Any interest?
    Send MAIL (don't clutter up this notes file) and let me know.  I'll
    see how many folks are interested and will proceed from there.

    I thought I would enter the directions to Milford High School for
    anyone who plans to attend.
    
    o From Boston - Mass Pike West to Westboro Rte 495 exit. 
    o From Points North - South on Rte 495.  
    
    - Take your first exit off of Rte 495 after the Mass Pike exit. This
    is the Upton Main St. exit. 
    - Take a left onto South St. at the first set of lights when you get 
    off the exit. Stay on this road for appx. 4 miles 
    - South St. turns into Purchase St. once you enter Milford. 
    - Take a right onto Fountain St. Look for Peter's Market it's on the 
    	left just opposite Fountain St.  
    - Go up the hill. At the blinking lights (Stop sign) go straight
    ahead, the high school is on the left.
    
   o  Points South -  Rte 495 North to Rte 85.  
    
    Take the Rte 85 Milford exit. 
    - At the end of the ramp go left.  
    - At the lights take a right onto Dilla St.  
    - Take a left at the end of Dilla St. onto Purchase St.
