  Sy, that's a wonderful photo, and somehow very moving. Thank you for 
posting it, and thanks to your client for scanning and allowing it to be 
reproduced.

Best regards,

David.

> Notice the sturdy wood crate. The piano came by rail and the last 18 
> miles by horse and wagon. The young boy in the horse grew up to be the 
> father or grandfather (not sure) of the lady who still owns the piano. 
> The white house is still there but has an addition.
> This family is very attached to this piano. The lady was kind enough 
> to scan the photo and send me a copy.
