In a message dated 99-02-12 08:37:40 EST, you write: << Are male piano technicians more likely to loose their wives than men in other occupations? Seems like I have heard from a large number of PTs in the last couple of months about this, or maybe I'm just now more in tune with the topic because I lost mine. >> Wally, I also have wondered about this. Since a high rate of divorce occurs in the rest of Western society (1/3-1/2 of all marriages end in divorce), we should expect similar figures in our profession. But there are many characteristics of our profession which can place a strain on a marriage. Whether the non-technician spouse leaves the marriage or the other way around (as in my case), these factors no doubt play a part. It is these things that would be helpful to include in a class or seminar - I wonder what others think? Bill Shull University of Redlands, Loma Linda University Loma Linda, CA (909) 796-4226
