    hi!!!! from Worcester Love
  • Dec 18 2007 5:26 PM

    I took my first class there at the art museum as a child, about 1962. I used to love that place. At the time I only used to come to Worcester to visit my grandparents. Twenty years later I moved up here. I still love the place, although I wish you were open more than five days a week. And I sure wish I was there the day Christopher Walken was standing in your doorway and freezing! Had I known, I would have brought him some soup, and a woolen hat.
