Graduated from North Bennet Street Industrial School's 5-1/2 month PTechnology class, at that time a very rudimentary introduction. From there headed into self emplyment, and the learning continued, from guild members and meetings, and not the least, the pianos themselves. It would have been a lonely and baffling trip without the PTG. My early heroes (in chronological order): Bill Garlick, Steve Jellen, Wil Snyder, LaRoy Edwards and Cliff Geers. Bill Ballard, RPT New Hampshire Chapter, PTG "No one builds the *perfect* piano, you can only remove the obstacles to that perfection during the building." ...........LaRoy Edwards
