Franklin

So when do you think the whole idea of free public libraries began?

I think it goes back to Ben Franklin.

I mean, it may be earlier in other countries, but at least in America, it was Franklin that started the Free Library in Philadelphia.

All right.

Well, it started in around the 1840s.

So it wasn't Franklin.

Based on the research I did.

And the idea is they would have, the beginning was known as the ledger era.

And they traveled up last October to, I did a show at the Rose Garden Coffee House up in Massachusetts.

I believe they're in Franklin, Mass.

And my cousins, my younger cousins, Lindsay and Kelsey and their husbands traveled up around that specific show.

And it was so special to me to have them here.

And so then my mom found a school for kids like me.

It was called Dean College in Franklin, Massachusetts.

And I think we had taken a trip there and I really liked it.

I liked it.

The name of the last will be that of your future husband.

Franklin, Massachusetts.

182.

Rub the four bedposts with a lemon, and carry the lemon in the pocket the next day, and the first man you speak to, you will marry.

Place the heel of one shoe against the instep of the other for three nights in a row.

You will dream of your future husband.

Franklin, Massachusetts.

Two hundred forty.

I was born in Norwood, Massachusetts, which is a fairly small town west of Boston.

I grew up in Franklin, Massachusetts, which is also about an hour west of Boston.

Franklin was one of those little rural farm town type places.

I mean, that's why we had to go to another town to have, you And if they were serious, complicated medical needs, we need to go all the way to Boston.

Which in some ways was good because I got to be treated by some of the top doctors in the world, including the creator of the Scapens open sky vitrectomy procedure for reattaching retinas.

And that was largely Blondie's influence that got me to go back to school because I was quite prepared to give up.

So did you go back to Perkins, Sue Ellen, or did you go back? No, I went

back to Franklin High School, to the local school.

I can't even do that, right? So I guess I'm not.

What else did I tell you? Wendell built their facility out in Franklin, Massachusetts, a town where I lived.

And I gave you the skinny on that.

I told you this was going to be trouble for TSSI.

This is Dell.

Look at this.

Since I came out and told you about Dell and that facility in Franklin, Mass., Dell stock has gone from about 125 to 525.

And TSSI has done the opposite, going from 18 to 8.

And I'll share a small story, a short story.

But me and my older brother, my me and my older brother graduated from a predominantly white school in Franklin, Massachusetts.

Kind of a long story, but we were living in an inner city area.

My mother wanted us to be in a different, safer environment in the 90s.

We moved to Franklin, Massachusetts.

My older brother broke the high jump record at our school.

And years later...
