[Greg Newell]

Well, now I have to throw my hat into the ring 
too don't I? A few of the highly respected 
members of this list have blessed me by 
mentioning my name in their posts. I am awed by 
the opportunity wherein I had the chance to spend 
some time getting to know them and developing 
what I hope will be a lasting relationship for 
many years to come. I hope that the PTG in it's 
wisdom and foresight will see fit to include the 
Rebuilders Show Case in it's convention planning 
for many years to come. For those who could not 
or chose not to attend this year I can only say 
that this one segment of the convention was 
enough to have made the entire thing worthwhile 
by itself. You really missed something quite 
special indeed. It's one thing to hear and feel 
and experience what a manufacturer is producing 
in droves but quite another to hear what one 
individual pours his heart and soul into!  There 
is an astounding difference!!! And then to attend 
a class where each person has 1 1/2 hours to 
explain all they did and why they chose to do it? 
Does it get any better? Well, yes it does!! Each 
class finished with an Eastman School of Music 
performance major demonstrating the capabilities 
of the piano we just heard about!! I don't know 
how anyone can help but be moved by that. I won't 
mention any names since I'm afraid of forgetting 
someone and unintentionally snubbing them. It was 
exceptionally nice meeting those of you whom I 
was lucky enough to say hello to. I wish it could 
have been longer. Fantastic Convention!!!!
