Did you read story in Telegram .  Sheriff is expanding the use of SafetyNet from LoJack to find the missing.  How did this all start??   Answer-Nolafest!!!  The monies from NolaFest were used to purchase this and to show the benefits of this tool.  Great job Harry T!

I have to give a shout out to you, Paulie and the CSBA for making that event a reality and to help bring life saving technology to Worcester County as a legacy to my late son, Elias.

I have to admit when Gina and I were sitting with you and Paulie at a booth in EVO back in 2008 and this was drawn up on cocktail napkins about an urban music festival being set up in 3 parking lots across the street...I thought it was a long shot. 4 years later ...world class musicians have played the event ...too many VIPs have rolled through...US Senator, US Congressman, Mass Lt Governor and the majority of elected officials in Central Mass... an American Idol contenstant and a music legend have all come through the gates.

Glad to be part of something so special. What REALLY hit home about this event was meeting a family at last year's NOLAfest who came in from the Plymouth,Mass area. A mother, a father and their 7 year old son who has autism and was wearing a LoJack Safety Net bracelet on his ankle which I spotted. I chatted it up with the family and they told me their son has a history of wandering and that this bracelt was 'an absolute blessing' to them. They told me their son has a profound love of music and that the ONLY way they could EVER attend a live music event with him was with that LoJack device in case the worst should happen, that he should wander. I was on cloud 9 when I heard that comment...

Thanks again to you, Paulie and CSBA for helping make our dream a reality!

Harry can we use this device on that redheaded, Village of Piedmont K-9 who is continually MIA here? Probably isnt even micro chipped either :)

Dittos for the occasional blogger(s) on here who on occasion lose their minds blogging on here.

If we used that technology on the 'Village of Piedmont K-9' ...can you imagine the database we could build on dives and gin mills across New England?!?!?! Although lately the K-9 has become a foodie and doesn't frequent the dives and gin mills the way he used to...

Harry, if I was to opine that I think someone has got him on a short chain, he'd come outta the underbush and take the proverbial pound of flesh outta my thigh...which would mean 30 days quarantine time :)

Regardlesss, mehtinks that this thread should draw him out of where ever he is now. E.g. The Chatham Squire has been know to have a few imbibers on Thursday nights. I used to drink there myself in a younger day. Get so hammered that I couldnt read the license plates and other signs on the wall.
