Thanks, TJ, for the compliment on "my" (Hersheypark's) band organ
(and it sounded good at Christmas -- Wow!).  There are times when
it drives me up a wall and there's a bunch of things that need done
(maybe this winter) but I do love the opportunity to keep it playing.

A necessary correction, though:  Hersheypark is operated by
Hershey Entertainment and Resorts, not the Hershey Company.  Hershey
Entertainment and Resorts is a private company with one shareholder
-- the Hershey Trust, which maintains the trust fund for the Milton
Hershey School (http://www.mhs-pa.org/ ).  We have absolutely nothing
to do with the Hershey Company and they nothing with us.  The Trust is
a majority shareholder of their stock, so that is the only connection.

Hershey Entertainment and Resorts operates all of the non-chocolate
interests, including the Hotel Hershey, Hershey Lodge, Laundry, Nursery
and Hersheypark.  There was your Hershey lesson for the day.
