Hi Maureen: Just for the record, I never lived in Hopedale, nor did I ever say I did. Neither did I ever sit at the end of the long dining room table and address my father at the other end of that table; nor did I ever say I did so. Not to labor the point, but what I did say is still appended to this message. I indicated that I took the virtual tour of the mansion. I found the experience to be somewhat overwhelming. In that spirit I engaged in the mental role-playing as described in my posting.
