I turned in my keys on Monday and met with my replacement today to "show him the ropes"! :-) Some of you probably know him. His name is Kenneth Ponche, who came here from St. Louis. He seems like a very intelligent and personable tech and I wish him the best. I told him to please feel free to call me with any questions/help that I might be able to give him.
</font><br><font size="3"> </font> <br><font size="3">He has his work cut out for him but I think he's up to it. There's a guest pianist recital on Thursday and a Masterclass on Friday. The head of our piano dept. (Nancy Weems) is giving a recital involving two pianos the end of this month! Plus our International Piano Festival has been moved from February to early November this year! Plus everything else that I'm sure will be going on!
