Still in Auburn

Today we drove to Leicester where Robert lived his first 20 years
except during the war years and the hospital following.

We stopped in to visit the library. Robert has an old history
of Leicester which is in excellent condition. He asked if they
would like it. The librarian in charge of the town history
was delighted. They have a couple of copies, but they are
not in good condition. She said that sometimes people have
even torn pages out of them. Now they are kept under
lock and may only be used in the library.

Robert's house looks the same as it did 20 years ago when I
first saw it and much the same as when he grew up in it. In
fact the town has changed, but that area of town has not.

We went from Leicester to Worcester to visit WPI where
Robert did his undergraduate work. We toured the
campus where there are many new, since Robert was there,
buildings. Many old ones have been refurbished.

We listened to Ms Palin last night and I guess if McCain
should win we'll all be hoping McCain's health is still
good.
