<BR>The National is too far away for me this year.
<BR>I saw somewhere, the projected places for the next couple of

<BR>the future National Conventions are slated for?
<BR>Thank you.

<BR>I presume you are talking about piano technicians conventions. I don't want
<BR>to pick on you particularly, John, but there are no National Conventions.
<BR>There are, however, PTG Conventions and Institutes. National would imply the
<BR>convention is for a (one) nation. Our PTG Convention and Institutes have been
<BR>anything but for one nation. We have been very international for years. I
<BR>know it is easy to say National, but let's all try to get with it, and call
<BR>them what they really are: PTG Conventions and Institutes.
<BR>
<BR>Thanks
