Budget Cuts May Close MSSC

[Jorgensen, Michael L]

Jeff,
     You should not be scared!  They can't have a music school without a technician.  Are you in Columbia?   That's a big enough city to make plenty of money for several technicians.  I'll bet in less than two years your income might double. Of course if they lost the position, I'd hate to think what the pianos will sound like in about two years.
