Jim, Andre' and heck... all you lovable guys and gals... The time is 12:40, just over midnite. Early Christmas day for us here in the western part of Scandinavia. We just got back from our yearly family dinner at my wife parents house with the greater part of the family sitting down together for good food, good cheer, presents, songs, and the rest. My thoughts drifted to you all several times through the evening, thinking how lucky I am to have so many good friends and aquantainces that share this wonderful interest we all have in music and pianos. As Jim, my mind also has dwelled upon those of us who have passed on this year, tho for my part its not so much with sadness, as it is thankfullness that I got to know at least a few of these fellows along roads and byways in life. All the more reason to be appreciative of the fact that we have each other, each and every one of us. Bergen is cold and there is just a dusting of snow here this year. The town is lite up with Christmas lights, and people all over are settling in for the nite as I will very soon now. But not before I wish all of you the Happiest of Christmas seasons. Merry Merries ! Cheers RicB -- Richard Brekne RPT, N.P.T.F. UiB, Bergen, Norway mailto:rbrekne@broadpark.no http://home.broadpark.no/~rbrekne/ricmain.html
