>   Hi, 
>   I noticed your posting of a letter  in the pianotech archives from one
>Clayton Harmon in which he relates going to a 1947 ASPT convention in Detroit.
>In attendance he noted the name STONAKER.   This caught the attention of my
>web browser.
>
>   My grandfather, Frank H.Stonaker, was a music store owner and piano tuner
>in Indiana in the 1920-40's time frame.  His brother William Claire Stonaker
>was active in Vaudeville variety shows.   Their father William Stonaker was, I
>believe, a circuit Baptist preacher in Iowa in the late 1800's.
>
>   There seems to be a connection between Stonakers and piano technicians, but
>at this point I not sure if it is my branch and if so where the connection
>might be.
