Tom, I'm a pointy-headed academic, so in addition to teaching, I research and write for a remarkably small audience. I've been working on a project about a guy who was the Superintendent of Schools in Holyoke, MA, in the 1890s, and a bunch of city archival materials are housed at the community college there.
Rachel, you can email me: lerner.n AT gmail.com. I have a workstand I can bring though working outside might not be ideal this time of year!
