Massachusetts. I'd like to welcome the show Henry Susky from Middletown, Connecticut, a patron of the show Henry Souski from Middletown Connecticut patron of the show I might add who has come to talk to us about the neighboring state of Massachusetts

Henry welcome to the show. Yes, thank you.

And I should ask, first of all, what's your connection with Massachusetts other than it's right

over there?

Yeah, so I was born there and I've been traveling the state my entire life.

Excellent.

And why should someone go to Massachusetts?

Well, it actually, it represents America.

We've had people that have come to Massachusetts over 400 years ago and they've gone

to all corners and there's just been tremendous turnover.

So if you know where to look you're going to see all sorts of different movements ideas

institutions museums and also the nature is stunning too.

Excellent and we should point out there were people in Massachusetts when those other people came too.

But so there have been people in Massachusetts for some time now.

Yes.

Excellent.
