Stef Rocks (on Rock Street)
I had the good fortune to attend Stefani's lecture last night in Fall River. It was a beautiful presentation and Stef's energetic persona had a full house of Bordon-ites completely taken in. (I occasionally looked around to watch the locals' faces) I am so glad I made it, it was wonderful to meet Stef, Kat and the other lucky forum members who attended. A late night visit to the gravesites with Stef, Kat and Harry will be etched in my memory...I had a fantastic time, thank you so much!
Kudos to Professor Koorey!

Kash, I enjoyed meeting you last night and second what you say above! Stefani presented a creative and interesting program regarding various documentaries produced since the 1990s about the Borden case; there was a full house at the community hall of the First Congregational Church for this presentation. Marilou and I spent the day in Fall River and it was great to see and visit again with Forum members in attendance. Tours of the Fall River Historical Society and 92 Second St. are extra special when experts like Stefani, Kat, Harry, Sherry and family, and Eugene are there, too. Ben did a fine job as our tour guide at 92 Second St. and we heard about some of Lee-ann's plans for the B & B and saw the progress being made since the press building was removed.
Mark, again I've enjoyed your Fall River photograhy and meeting your family last evening. And, welcome Cynthia to the Forum!

thanks Doug, it was great meeting you and Marilou too! I think it would be great if we could all meet at in Fall River some time. (and arrange another raffle!)
Best,

I also want to comment on how great Stefani's talk was. It was very informative and entertaining. Her presentation was superb.
I'm sorry I didn't have time to post yesterday, but I did my 5th tour of 92 Second Street (my first time in the cellar) , then drove by the farm house on Gardner's Neck in Swansea (which looks shabbier than the last time I was there). I also drove by the location of the Isaac Davis homestead in Dartmouth (where Uncle John Morse was staying).
It was really great to meet Stef, Kat, Kasheshan and Doug so recently after joining the forum. I also got Leonard Rebello to autograph my copy of his book.
This was truly a memorable 113th anniversary!

From that old Frank Sinatra song: "It's nice to go traveling... but it's oh so much nicer to come home."
But what a great time I had. Off the top of my head, also attending Stef's talk: Kat, Sherry Chapman & family, Eugene, Mark A. & wife, Doug & Marylou , Bob G., Bill Pavao, Kashean (how nice to see her), Michael Martins, Dennis Binette, Len Rebello, Lee-Ann (in costume) and Shelly from the B&B and I'm sure others who I didn't get a chance to meet. It was so well attended that extra chairs had to be brought in! Bravo Stef, bravo!
It was the first time I had met Kashean, Bob G. and Bill Pavao. It was great fun to finally meet the people you've discussed the Borden case with through this and previous forums.
Lee-Ann has done a marvelous job with the B&B and Ben did an excellent job at giving us a tour. We also got a chance (my first) to tour the beautiful Fall River Historical Society. It's simply gorgeous and not to be missed. There's more than Lizzie Borden in Fall River.
We could not have been treated more kindly and I can't thank enough (not in any particular order) Lee Ann, Len, Michael and Dennis for their warm hospitality.
I'm sure we will be posting lots of photos and impressions.
One of our side trips was to New Bedford to see the Ash Street jail where Lizzie was held during the trial. I was only able to get this small shot because immediately after it was taken, a policeman came out of that door and shook his finger at us - NO PHOTOS. It was for security reasons I guess. Maybe they thought we were making plans to spring an inmate.
LOL.

(kash, likewise. i hope you'll write some more stories.)
most of the downstairs rooms have these doorknobs, which i gather are original. this is to the closet in the dining room, which meets up with the doorway into the sitting room.

That's funny, Stuart. I have almost identical doorknobs/hardware in my place, which was built around 1878. I also thought they looked very deco (mine are a bit more angular than those @ 92). However, my house was separated into apts during the Depression, which probably accounts for that hardware.

Bob, I didn't mean meeting you at the lecture but I can see how my message would lead one to believe that.Bob Gutowski @ Mon Aug 08, 2005 5:03 pm wrote:I didn't make the presentation - Harry including me may be a bit of "you weren't there? I could've sworn you were!" I'm loving the pictures on the sitting room couch - Eugene, you're cute!
It was great however meeting you after all these years. Yes, the talks on Len's deck and at the restaurant were a lot of fun. Quite a lot of total years of Borden knowledge at those talks. Did we solve the case? Nah.

That's a good point Angel.
If Abby was kneeling between the bed and bureau, tho, she would not have seen anything in the doorway [reflected in the mirror] from that position. I tried it, because I had the same thought!
Eugene, The Walsh pics were taken about 3 pm- 3:30 pm, something like that. Were we there then?

I like the newly added piece of furniture in the guest room, but I can't tell from the picture what happened to the sewing machine that used to be there? There was a sewing machine in that room when the Borden's lived there so I thought that made it more authentic. Did they removed from the room? I haven't seen the inside of the house in a few years so it might not be so newly added, but this is the first time I've had a chance to notice.

This is the sewing machine to which I referred in my post. It is a little cut off in the picture but you can see it for the most part.
