Our former president and dear friend to anyone who knows him Sid Stone is prominently displayed on the front page of the Orange County Register this morning (10/15). Unfortunately the article has nothing to do with piano work or the PTG. The topic is eminent domain. Not to get into politics but a proposition restricting eminent domain powers will be on the ballot in California next month. Apparently Sid and his family were the (victims) of a Caltrans acquisitions some 35 years ago.  </FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT size=4></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><FONT size=4>Well it's a sad story but anyone interested can read it online at OCREGESTER.COM. </FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT size=4></FONT> </DIV> <DIV>Steve Blasyak</DIV> <DIV><A href="mailto:atuneforyou@earthlink.net">atuneforyou@earthlink.net</A></DIV> <DIV>EarthLink Revolves Around You.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <P></P></BLOCKQUOTE></BODY></HTML>
