I taught for many years, and more and more over the years we were warned to be careful regarding what situations we put ourselves in. As individual tuners going into people's homes, we must be sure that there are reasonable people there, adults, and so on.   This situation is obviously a criminal act. But, as honest people we need to be sure we don't put ourselves at the mercy of some person(s) who have a less than a stellar agenda.   Sincerely, Tom Dickson, Regina, SK       <hr id="stopSpelling"> Date: Tue, 15 Mar 2011 16:51:47 -0600 From: <a href="mailto:bruce@bgpianotech.com">bruce@bgpianotech.com</a> To: <a href="mailto:pianotech@ptg.org">pianotech@ptg.org</a> Subject: [pianotech] Piano Tuner Accused of Sexual Assault <a href="http://www.thedailyfairfield.com/news/piano-tuner-accused-sexual-assault-fairfield" target="_blank">http://www.thedailyfairfield.com/news/piano-tuner-accused-sexual-assault-fairfield</a> Bruce Gibson Piano Technician 1.306.221.3786 (Voice or Text) 1.877.652.3571 (Saskatchewan) <a href="mailto:bruce@bgpianotech.com">bruce@bgpianotech.com</a> <a href="http://www.bgpianotech.com" target="_blank">www.bgpianotech.com</a> Sent from my Samsung Galaxy Smartphone </div>  </div> </div>
