<html> <body> Lonnie, Wow! That's one heck of a way to get a new concert grand! :-) Thankfully, we had nothing at all like that here. Some downed power lines, tree limbs/branches, that type of thing. Class are supposed to start again this coming Thursday. They're saying that this was the largest peace time evacuation in history, so with almost 3 million people evacuated, it's also going to take a while to get everyone back and everything up & running again.

It maybe in a dump truck by now who knows.     Lonnie Young The University of Southern Miss Hattiesburg, MS <hr> From: caut-bounces@ptg.org [<a href="mailto:caut-bounces@ptg.org" eudora="autourl"> mailto:caut-bounces@ptg.org</a>] On Behalf Of Avery Todd Sent: Wednesday, September 21, 2005 8:50 AM To: College and University Technicians Subject: Re: [CAUT] Fwd: hurricane preparedness Wim, At 02:26 PM 9/20/2005, you wrote: <blockquote type=cite class=cite cite=""> In a message dated 9/20/2005 8:40:56 AM Central Standard Time, atodd@uh.edu writes: <dl> <dd>If we are asked to prepare for a hurricane, you should: <dd>o <x-tab>       </x-tab> close pianos and wrap with plastic provided. </dl>  Avery   How many of the professors do you think will actually do the last thing. I would predict that the violin, flute and oboe teachers might take their instruments home, but most professors will probably not care about their piano. <img src="cid:6.2.3.4.2.20050925093215.02fa3858@mail.uh.edu.1" width=19 height=19 alt="[]"> </blockquote> My thought & comment in the staff meeting. With the exception, maybe, of the piano profs. And 2 of those would probably need help because of age.
