From The Editor’s Desk
ack to the pictures, this issue! In fact,
we’ve got a theme of pictures for this
issue - just about every photo in the
GTJ deals with the successful Rhythm on the
Rails concert series Ray Axlerod put together.
The events went
very well, and
were quite well
attended. Thanks
of course to Ray
for pulling it
together, all the
museum volunteers who helped
staff the concert
evenings, and also
all the sponsors
for helping to
R..A. LaMay photo
make it happen.
The sponsors are, in no particular order: The
Chronicle, Liberty Bank Gateway Commons
and Willimantic Branches, Savings Institute
Bank & Trust, and O.L. Willards Lumber.
Thank you all!

No other updates?
There’s been plenty brewing down at the museum, from work on the turntable, to some new
donations. But due to some family commitments (as in I’m building the 2nd floor of our
home this summer myself), I haven’t been able
to attend any meetings, or get down to the
museum with any regularity. And you can
plainly see how late the newsletter has been :-)
- thanks for your patience & understanding!
Once the fall comes around, we should have
more informative updates and a more timely
publication schedule.
Thanks for reading & enjoy the issue!
