This is a multi-part message in MIME format. ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment I'd just like to take a moment and wax gratefully about PTG, = particularly this (CAUT) group.=20 Just before Christmas, as some of you are aware, I had a bad ladder fall = (not that any of them are good) and broke, among other things, my right = shoulder. The break was pretty bad, totally breaking the ball off of the = top of the humorous bone, and cracking that ball in four places. I have = healed rather quickly according to my orthopedist and physical therapist = with few complications. I'd like to say it was because I have remarkable = recouperative powers for a man of any age, but the truth is I had help. = The prayers of my friends and aquaintances, the Presbyterian Church next = door, and many of the churches I regularly service have contributed. The = non praying well wishers were wonderful too. Chris and Karen Robinson's = card was particularly comforting. People really came out of the = woodwork. I am overwelmed by this and feel very undeserving. The = PTG/CAUT members who are in this group are many and I thank you all. I especially would like to thank Dawn Herring, Gregory Graham, and Ed = Hudak (and Judith Palmer and Paul Adams who volunteered but were not = needed) who have helped me maintain my school contracts during this time = period. I was out completely for seven weeks and even now can only do = two or three pianos a day effectively. Well actually that may have = always been true now that I think about it. I'd really like to do one a = day, all day. I'll keep selling full service until that evolves. Some days are painful (so I reschedule alot) and there is stiffness in = the joint, but I am hopeful that I will avoid future arthritis or other = complications. Gotta remember to "rest it." Although I wil attend the MARC in a couple of weeks I will not be able = to attend any other PTG events for a while and will be curtailing any = committee activity as well while I restock my savings which were = dessimated. ExecuKey sales have continued to help, and I am the newest = AccuTuner dealer, so don't hesitate to call (pardon the shameless = commmercial plugs) for sales and service. Most of all I write to tell you what a great comfort it has been = reading and writing to this list. This list is the most consistently = intelligent source (you too Jeff) for us pin benders and I really value = it. It will come as no surprise to anyone that I am capable of going off = the deep end and occasionally drifting into cynacism. Mostly this is in = the passionate pursuit of fun and I hope I will be forgiven, Lord knows = I can't stop. Anyway CAUT thanks for being there, I love you folks (you = too Jeff) and enjoy this exchange a great deal. Just a couple of observations: always obey the rules of ladder safety, = no man is an island, get up dust yourself off and start all over again, = have some disability insurance, learning to tune uprights with your left = hand is a good thing for many reasons, you're never too old or = experienced to learn how to set a tuning pin properly, and piano tuners = ARE grand and upright (you too Jeff) people.
