If you have not attended conventions such as these, you don't know what you are missing, otherwise you would surely do what it takes to be there. The amount of experience and knowledge that is freely shared at these events is is truly humbling. Thank you, presenters!<BR><BR>My special thanks go to the organizers and their wonderful teams of volunteers who put on these events and make everyone feel so welcome. Representative for the larger numbers of hard working individuals, I would like to acknowledge Jim Busby, Vince Myrkalo and Skip Livingston (PNWC) as well Steve Taylor, Mike McCoy, Paul Adams (MARC).<BR><BR>Wunderkinder!<BR><BR><?smaller>Jurgen Goering<BR>Piano Forte Supply<BR>(250) 754-2440<BR>info@pianofortesupply.com<BR>http://www.pianofortesupply.com<BR></BLOCKQUOTE><?/smaller></BODY></HTML>
