<DIV><BR></DIV><FONT face=arial,helvetica><FONT size=2>Dear =
Friends: <BR><BR>I
volunteered to be Elian's tour guide while he is visiting the US. He =
has about
3 weeks. I have outlined the trip he wants to take below. He will =
leave Miami
in a rented car on Monday Feb. 4th. What would be a terrific sense of =
unity
among piano tuners, is if he could stay with one of us all along the =
way.
<BR><BR>If any of you want to host Elian and his wife, please let me =
know
privately. He will have a car, so I will need directions to your =
house. You
can kind of figure out where he is going to be by the itinerary I =
worked out.
In addition to staying for the night, if you can take some time out of =
your
busy schedule to give him a short tour of anything interesting, =
(especially in
the major cities he is visiting), that would be even better. =
<BR><BR>From
Miami, he'll drive up the East coast to Washington, DC. Then on to New =
York
City, (maybe a tour of the Steinway Factory) Then on to Boston. Then =
three
days to drive to across New England, New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio and =
Indiana
to Chicago, (he wants to visit Schaff). Then down to St. Louis, to =
visit his
wife's family, down though Alabama, and then back to Miami. <BR><BR>As =
I said,
lets keep this off pianotech. So e-mail me privately with your plans.
<BR><BR>Thanks <BR><BR>Wim <BR>wimblees@aol.com
