Mr. Foote, I guess I didn't realize that you wouldn't be presenting this
year.  I know that your class opened my eyes to new possibilities, and I
have presented two different temperments to my home chapter for compariso=
n
to ET in a meeting held in our store last year.  I was surprised that 12 =
out
of approx. 30 techs present took the handout you gave me permission to us=
e
(a couple of others already had taken your class, and had it already).  S=
o,
about half of the class had experimented with your precepts, or would.=0D
    I think that this indicated that a lot of techs are willing to try ne=
w
things (or old things brought back to life),  and I would like to say for
the record, that a lot of us truly appreciate what you and others have tr=
ied
to bring forward, as different alternatives to the normal.=0D
    I look forward to taking Mr. Lamoreaux's class, and will bet that it
will be well attended!=0D

Having been involved in PTG temperament presentations for the last 3 =0D
years, I can state with certainty that there is no resistance to the subj=
ect
=0D
of temperaments, just to those that offer condemnation of everything but =
=0D
their own egocentric viewpoint. If a class proves attractive and useful,(=
as =0D
measured by the class evaluation sheets), the presenter is usually asked =
=0D
back. =0D
The IC makes the effort every year to present non-ET temperaments, it is =
=0D
a popular class. Dave Lamoreaux will be presenting a class this year on =0D
choosing them. It should be a valuable addition to any technician that ha=
s =0D
an interest in the new. Wish I could be there. =0D
