[Thursday] How often do you leave a trail to New England Wireless & Steam Museum?

[Robert Vincent]

I do not subscribe to Facebook, I never have and never will. I keep away
from social media sites.  The best way to do it is have a link such that if
someone goe into Google and types any combination of the
"Wireless&Steam museum it will direct you to several sites.  Also when you
sign into the Facebook NEWS  it will aks for a log in or become a member,
 Just click the X in the upper right hand corner and you go right in as a
guest,  TRY TO KEEP IT SIMPLE OR PEOPLE WILL NOT PUT IN ANY EFFORT.
