[CAUT] bummer

[Elwood Doss]

Hi Wim,
That's a shame!  The U of A just does not know what they are losing.
One of our problems is we work with, and I'm making a broad
generalization here, university musicians...moody, self centered,
jealous, picky, demanding.  I appreciate your friendship and the
tremendous amount of knowledge you possess in piano technology.  You
have been a teacher, mentor and friend.  This won't put food on the
table or pay the bills but just know that your colleagues in piano
technology appreciate you very much.  I wish them luck in finding
someone who will produce at the quality you have given them....
Something will open up...you're too good for it not to.  

Joy!
Elwood

This afternoon I got a letter "to inform you of the termination of 
your employment with the University of Alabama, effective immediately."
My last day of work was today, I will get paid until May 31. 

Anyone know of a job? I'll take a store or university. 

Obviously my wife and I are upset, but we are faithful people, and 
know that somehow we'll pull through. But a little prayer from my 
friends won't hurt.
