All valued Pianotech Lurkers

[Avery]

Dale,

Well, coming from someone who's never made a mistake!!! (yeah, 
right!) :-D I really appreciate your posts. Along with all the 
others, of course. I've learned a lot over the years of being on this 
list and hope I've contributed at least a little bit to someone 
else's knowledge.

I'm going to be retiring from full-time university work the end of 
next May but I'll still be doing "outside" work to help pay the 
bills. So, I'll probably still be asking questions from all of you 
much more knowledgeable than me.

Hope everyone had a great Christmas! My sister made me a quilt with 
all kinds of musical notes, keyboards, etc. on it. I really, really love it!

Also hope everyone has a safe and happy New Year's!

Regards,
Avery Todd
