<DIV>Hello Stan,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> Thank you for the kind words about the Foundation</DIV>
<DIV>Museum. Let me hasten to say that I was not alone </DIV>
<DIV>in creating it. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> The seeds were planted many years ago. At our </DIV>
<DIV>fortieth Anniversary Convention in Orlando Fla.
</DIV>
<DIV>the seeds started growing. This was in July of 97.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> Laura Olsen then President of the Foundation and</DIV>
<DIV>knowing of my interest in Piano history talked to me</DIV>
<DIV>about this Museum. My thoughts then were of 2007</DIV>
<DIV>and our Fiftieth Anniversary. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> Even as far back as when we bought our first Home</DIV>
<DIV>Office Building then PTG President Nolan Zeringue</DIV>
<DIV>said " now we can have a Museum". Bruce Dornfeld </DIV>
<DIV>among others were early supports of this effort.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> The actual building of the Museum was ind=
eed
a </DIV>
<DIV>challange. The displays, items displayed and Pianos </DIV>
<DIV>had to be portable so the space could be cleared in </DIV>
<DIV>three hours by three people which was my time line. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> This meant that each display and each divider had</DIV>
<DIV>to be custom designed and built. Weight was a large</DIV>
<DIV>factor. Added to this my shop was 540 miles from K.C.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> Bottom line It did take the two years and it was worth</DIV>
<DIV>it. If it all had to be done again I would still do it.</DIV>
<DIV>The look in the eyes of the technicians made it more </DIV>
<DIV>than worth it.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Thanks, again</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
