Fandrich did not ban anybody from any store. Fandrich did not make that small-minded decision. If you are referring to Ed Richards' store, Fandrich Pianos, please be specific. For example, you might say simply, "the store," or, perhaps, "Ed Richards' store," or even "Fandrich Pianos of Chicago."  But, on this list when you simply say "Fandrich" it seems reasonable to assume you are referring to me. As Paul said in his post: "... Fandrich Pianos at the DePaul Music Mart (absolutely no business relationship with Del and Barbara Fandrich)."  We have had no business relationship with Mr Richards for more than four years. </BLOCKQUOTE> By all means, Del, I was very much aware of the difference between the Fandrich Piano Store and you and Barb. Perhaps I was assuming too much, but Paul very clearly stated, as above, that there is no relations between you. I apologize for making it appear that there might be.   Wim  </HTML>
