   Strange to see a festival named after a uniquely Welsh festival, with
   no mention of Wales or any Welsh performers.  Why?

   Roger

The name was chosen 21 years ago, probably by the original organizer,
Howard Glasser, whose primary interest seems to be Celtic music.  I
don't know his reason for the choice - I've only been here three years,
and involved with the festival for one.  'Eisteddfod' is a Welsh
word meaning roughly a gathering of bards.  My guess is that Howard
thought that would be a good name for a festival which specializes
in traditional music, stories, crafts, etc., particularly since it's
held at a university, where people might be inclined to research the
meaning of the word.  I don't think he intended any explicit commitment
to Welsh music, and I'm not sure that there's been much of it over
the years.  It's also a bit misleading, since the bards were basically
the singer/songwriters of the day, and we tend to limit our roster
of performers to those who perform a substantial repertoire of old
songs.

Well, I was being a mite facetious when I said that everyone would

SB>\in that dept, only one is specialized in railroad restoration,

the town of portsmouth did a survey 2 years in a row, surveying
about 85% of the population and most wanted it along the west
side, along burma and the railroad tracks. thing is there is
no problem with the speed of the train these days and having
a bike path alongside it. there is a space about 76 feet for
both. quite adequate the railroad dude stated.
there were very few who wanted it along the east coast side.
do you want the actual % of surveyed? I input all the data.

yeah the condition of some of the roads are pretty bad. it keeps the

i still see a lot of bikers that use what is called connector roads,
union, mill lane and of course burma. on burma one must have more
than protective armor, they need a steel armor suit.
i also should have the traffic counts on several roads, public
data now that it's in the comprehensive plan. i got a lot of
statistics for portsmouth.

   But it does show the rest of the world what real Rhode Islanders

   It's finished and open for business up to the East Prov side of
the Washington Bridge.  They've been building a ramp on the Providence
side for several months now, but it looks like it's going slowly.

HI!  I'm looking to get in touch with a very close friend of mine, and
am hoping someone out there knows her.... her name is Jean Toms,
formerly of Cranston (just outside Providence).

Jean and I were in touch as penfriends from January until August, when
she sent me a letter saying that she was being forced to move in with
her mother in Boston, as a couple in her apartment complex had been
caught selling crack by the police, who since have taken possession of
the building.  

She sent me a letter about this on August 5th and told me she'd send me
her new address; I have not heard from her since, and as it's been over
a month I'm quite worried about her. I also know that while she lived in
Cranston, she worked at the Bali bra company (either in Providence or in
Boston).   If anyone knows the address of her employer, I might be able
to find out her address through the Personnel division of her
company....

if you know her, please show her this, and tell her to please get in
touch with me....

and send the address of the employer if you have it...

Thanks ever so much,
Kerry Cater.
