[CAUT] New job






Two weeks ago I told you that I was fired from the University of Alabama. 
Thanks to all of you who wrote supportive letters, and made 
recommendations for new positions. All of your prayers and good wishes 
paid off, because less than 48 hours later I got a call from a piano 
technician who is looking for someone to help with his business. 
 
Tonight, it was more or less made official that I would start on August 
1st. But here is the best part, and some of you guys are going to kill me. 
It's on the island of Oahu in Hawaii. No, not for the university, but as 
an independent piano technician. There is a severe shortage of 
experienced, good piano technicians on Oahu, so I will be kept very busy. 
I realize the cost of living is twice as expensive as what I am making 
here in Alabama, but I will be making almost three times what I was making 
here. 
 
On a personal note, obviously my wife was devastated wit the news of my 
dismissal. But after I told her where she was going to live next, she's 
the happiest person in the world. Here's a neat little anecdote. When Jan 
was a teenager, she vowed that her new husband would take her to Hawaii 
for their honeymoon. Well, she married me any way, and as a poor band 
director, Hawaii was out of the picture. Next year we'll be celebrating 
our 40th wedding anniversary. We're going to renew our vows, and then go 
on a 10 year honeymoon to Hawaii. 
 
If any of you will be at the convention, just look for the guy with the 
biggest smile on his face, wearing gaudy Hawaiian shirts. 
 
Again, thanks for all your thoughts and prayers. They worked.
