ThomasPowers Posted June 11, 2009 Share Posted June 11, 2009 May I suggest you mention the LOCATION in your post rather than having people click on another link to find out! BTW the mailing address is St. Johnsville, NY 13452 So of no interest to me here in NM; but I had to dig in another layer to determine this.
