It takes a brave man to start posting to this list, and sometimes I am braver than I should be. If I may speak for all of us out here, I would like thank you all for another year of my continuing education course in Piano Technology. After reading so many posts we respect and feel we get to know you, and are in awe of your collective expertise. This is not political but a simple statement of fact!  Be a friend,correct us, s</STRONG></EM><EM><STRONG>lap us in the forehead when necessary and acknowledge us when earned.  Newton Hunt advised and chided me when my eyesight caused me to quit driving and slow down on some slopwork. I am forever grateful.</STRONG></EM></DIV> <DIV><STRONG><EM>Now an admission of error. 5 years ago I put a set of molded key on and used a latex type glue that they recommended. Sure enough the glue failed and I had to correct. I should have read the list better, but it was my first time. </EM></STRONG></DIV> <DIV><STRONG><EM></EM></STRONG> </DIV> <DIV><STRONG><EM>Lurkers ..jump in..take your chances...and if all else fails blame it on Dale Erwin for starting this whole thing. I have only abetted in this matter.</EM></STRONG></DIV> <DIV><STRONG><EM></EM></STRONG> </DIV> <DIV><STRONG><EM>Holiday Cheers</EM></STRONG></DIV> <DIV><STRONG><EM></EM></STRONG> </DIV> <DIV><STRONG><EM>Hubert Liverman </EM></STRONG></DIV> <DIV><STRONG><EM>Opelika,AL</EM></STRONG></DIV> <DIV><STRONG><EM></EM></STRONG> </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV><STRONG><EM> </EM></STRONG></DIV> <DIV><STRONG><EM><U><FONT size=4>  Better yet some one yet to venture forth on the list</FONT></U>?</EM></STRONG><STRONG><EM>  </EM></STRONG></DIV> <DIV><STRONG><EM>   Happy New Year</EM></STRONG></DIV> <DIV><STRONG><EM>  Dale Erwin</EM></STRONG></DIV> <DIV><STRONG><EM></EM></STRONG> </DIV> <DIV><STRONG><EM>  <DIV> </DIV> <DIV><FONT lang=0 face="Book Antiqua" size=2 PTSIZE="10" FAMILY="SERIF"><I>Dale Erwin--Piano Restorations<BR>4721 Parker rd<BR>Modesto, Ca. 95357<BR>Shop 209-577-8397<BR>cell 209-985-0990<BR></FONT><FONT lang=0 face="Book Antiqua" color=#000000 size=3 PTSIZE="12" FAMILY="SERIF"></FONT><FONT lang=0 face="Abadi MT Condensed" color=#000000 size=3 PTSIZE="12" FAMILY="SANSSERIF">Web site <A href="http://www.erwinspiano.com/">http://www.Erwinspiano.com</A> </FONT><FONT lang=0 face="Book Antiqua" color=#000000 size=2 PTSIZE="10" FAMILY="SERIF"><BR><B>Restoration & Sales of</B><BR><B>Steinway & Sons plus other fine pianos.<BR>Custom made soundboards by design<BR></B></I></FONT></DIV></EM></STRONG></DIV></FONT> <P> <HR> <P></P>No virus found in this incoming message.<BR>Checked by AVGAS Free Edition.<BR>Version: 7.1.409 / Virus Database: 268.15.27/602 - Release Date: 12/25/2006<BR></BLOCKQUOTE></BODY></HTML>
