Did any of you Massachusetts SOTW folks get to meet Harri when he was in Massachusetts two weeks ago?

 

[Nefertiti]

I didn't even know he was in town. I did see a motorcade going by in Boston. The cops blocked off the street to let them through. That must have been Harri.

 

[Kritavi]

I missed him too but I swear I've seen his image on a reed when the light hits it just right.

 

[Grumps]

What, for a sit down with Marty?

Too bad I didn't know though. Might have taken a road trip back to my old college town...

 

[Budget Explosion]

he mentions this trip in the Keilwerth thread about their new US distributor (located in Maynard, a western suburb of Boston)...Harri says he used to live in Acton MA. I think the big employers for folks that lived there were: Wang Computers (RIP), Digital Computers (RIP) and Raytheon (the defense contractor).

also, doesn't Bergonzi have a regular gig in Acton MA?

I could have retained you as counsel.

You guys have a lot of really dynamite players up there in Mass. We've got a few down here, but, they're few and far between. Bergonzi's the real deal.
