[pianotech] PTG Foundation Relief Fund

[J Patrick Draine]

Sandy Roady and others sent updates to me:  the factory was well prepared
for the event, so they expect to be on a normal working schedule next week.
Yesterday (and perhaps now) they didn't have power or phone service.
I haven't called M&H to check but other than the possibility of a brief
power outage I doubt they had any problems. I'm 20 or so miles from
Haverhill, and we're both 20 miles from the shore, so no need to fret for
folks in Massachusetts.
You can always read nytimes.com and other papers' websites for updates on
general conditions.
Best,
Patrick Draine
