Thanks Robert. I wish you could be there too. I will be taking three incredible Mellotrons with me. One is the unit that I am currently restoring and the other is the "Lazarus" machine that I completed in 2007 and improved in 2010. Thank you Mike Reina. They are both white. The third one is black and is owned by Joe Colasante, and it is also a product of my shop. There is one conspicuous Mellotron that will NOT be there. I can't tell you which one because if I do, I'll never hear the end of it (Mel). It doesn't know that it will not be attending. In a message dated 5/28/2012 4:43:18 P.M.

I read about the incredible lineup of the 2012 Nearfest Apocalypse festival and wish both of you guys and everyone else who attends a great time ! I wish I could be there...

I belong to a gym, I weigh 178 pounds (down from 239), I eat right and I am working on recovering my upper body strength. I no longer take, nor require blood pressure or cholesterol medication, my blood sugar, triglyceride levels, etc. are all great. Except for a bit of arthritis, I feel fantastic. I think by June 21st, when I leave for Bethlehem, I will be strong enough to schlep a M400 out from my basement and carry it up to my truck by myself... not that I intend to do so. However, I am grateful for your offer of help and not to prideful or stupid to accept and I look forward to seeing you in a few weeks. Frank In a message dated 5/28/2012 12:20:22 P.M.

We feel like we actually did something in our youths. I will be around if you need help. I know you shouldn't be humping gear.
