<DIV>Hello to Everybody!</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> This Piano is not a "Giraffe Piano."</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> It is a "Conover Pompadour."</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> The only two that I know of, one</DIV>
<DIV>was rebuilt by the Schroeder Piano Co.</DIV>
<DIV>of Chicago in 1945. Brothers Paul and </DIV>
<DIV>Fred ran a very successful rebuilding </DIV>
<DIV>shop there for many years.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> The other was in 2001-2-3 also in the </DIV>
<DIV>Chicago area. I tried to set up an appoint-</DIV>
<DIV>meant for Laura Olsen to see but after </DI=
V>
<DIV>numerous phone calls I could not arrange </DIV>
<DIV>this. Yea, Nolan this one got away, for now.</DIV>
<DIV> I once told a Granddaughter </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> "The only way you can lose,,, </DIV>
<DIV> is to quit ,,, before you
win." </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> I will be trying to get this one on loan for </DIV>
<DIV>the Museum at our 007 Convention. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Regards,</DIV>
