List,
<p>In the October issue of the Journal on page 42 you will notice a picture
of yours truly presenting a plaque to Ken Sloane. The caption states in
recognition of his retirement at Oberlin. Below is the complete text of
the plaque.
<p><i>In honor of Kenneth A.Sloane, former head technician of the Oberlin
Conservatory of Music, for his many years of dedication and service to
the College and University Technicians Committee of the Piano Technicians
Guild. It is our privilege to have him as our colleague.</i>
<p>Ken has been on the CAUT committee since its modern inception in 1987
at the annual conference in Toronto. Ken has been the chair, newsletter
editor and contributor over the years and is still serving as senior advisor.
The committee thought it fitting to honor Ken for all his work over the
years on the occasion of his retirement from Oberlin.
<p>Although Ken will be continuing on the CAUT committee, it may be hard
to find him as I'm sure he will be spending a lot of time on his bicycle
and windsurfing board. :-) He has also been practicing a new artistic
pursuit. He promised to treat us with this pursuit in Reno. Plan to attend
if for nothing else. :-))
