subject: Diner cartoon
Hi D Chapel,
I just read your diner cartoon and think it's great. I am cochair of Coalition of Municipal Retirees and one retiree used to be the head of Worcester Voke. I asked him about doing a diner restoration at the new VOKE (they are doing this at RI training center to my father's diner, the Sherwood which he ran in Worcester from 1942 until his death in 1966 and then my mother with help from family ran it until 1969 when Worcester Redevlopement Authority took is for Centrum.
By the way Richard Gutman book has a picture of the Sherwood in it with no mention of my father running it.
John Scott is community liasion for the RI training center where they are restoring four diners. In addition, in Exeter RI the Job Corps is doing same restoring a diner. Think it would be great as Daniel Zilka of the American Diner Museum has so many diners which could be restored and VOKE could do a former Worcester diner. What a neat project to combine culinary classes, etc. as they are presently doing at the RI training center.
