I would not be interested in a square grand class. I don't see that many squares, and of the one I see regularly, the owner doesn't want to put any money into it. After all, it plinks, so what else could he want? :)<div> <br></div><div>However, I would be interested in sometime seeing one that was working as originally intended. </div><div><br></div><div><div>-- </div><div>John Formsma, RPT<br></div><div>Blue Mountain, MS</div><div><br></div> <br><div class="gmail_quote">On Thu, Oct 27, 2011 at 11:23 AM, Joseph Garrett <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:joegarrett@earthlink.net">joegarrett@earthlink.net</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex;"> All,<br> I proposed an all day Square Grand Class for the Bellvue Convention, that<br> would cover all that is needed to know, to, intellgently/skillfully work on<br> these beasts.Over the years, I've had to re-invent a whole lot of<br> techniques for square grands, as nothing was written down, as far as I've<br> been able to find.
