This picture was in the Chelsea Standard on June 14 of this year when the museum opened in the Chocolate Gourmet Shop. That's where we'll be meeting for the guided walking tour of Chelsea on Friday.
The tall fellow to the left is John Frank, and he'll be our guide. John is a retired physicist and management consultant. He is chair of Chelsea's Historic District Commission and found director of Preservation Chelsea. He and his wife, Jackie, have done a near-museum-quality of restoring their historic 1885 home on the south side of East Middle Street. We are fortunate that John agreed to conducting the tour especially for us! I hope we have a good turnout!
For a short period of time, the house was a hospital. I know that Kay Vogel Weinberg, Fred Wenk, and I were born there. Probably some other classmates were, too! Do you know anyone else who was born in that hospital?

Sounds like a whole lot of fun. I'm anxious for the "party to start."
And Jan, you are just a wealth of knowledge -- I'm sure glad you got back to Chelsea.
I also was born there
The museum is great. We were there this summer.
