Congratulations, Terry. Welcome to the RPT world! By the way, Mark, I live at "Ralston" a small community just east of Martin, Tennessee, which is also a small town, for that matter. My response was triggered by the photos of the Rolston Recital Hall. Joy!

RPT ! (Modified by Kent Swafford) Congratulations Terry Beckingham, now “Terry Beckingham, RPT!” Terry has been tuning since 1982, an Associate Member of PTG since 1997, and a contract tuner here (Brandon University) since 1998. He typically travels the nine hours down from The Pas (by dogsled) once every eight weeks, during the school season, and tunes about 40 of our studio and practice pianos. Terry has also taken residencies here in pin-block replacement and grand regulation. His work is conscientious and precise, which we sincerely appreciate. This last year Terry began the exam series towards becoming an RPT. He passed both the written and technical exams here, and as expected, his work was top notch. We have no CTEs in Manitoba (due to incessant polar-bear attacks), so I suggested Terry meet me out in Banff (photos) for his tuning exam. Nearby Calgary chapter boasts two CTEs; Chris Gregg, and Lee Post, who both generously traveled out (snowshoes) for the occasion. I’m proud to say not only did Terry pass, but his scores… , ooops, we’re not aloud to discuss this are we? Suffice it to say, Terry could solve our CTE shortage in the Manitoba Chapter, if he so wishes. I should also mention Terry’s pursuit of RPT wasn’t motivated by a need to build a clientele, or expand his business, just purely to have confidence he was providing best quality service! As for us, we never had any doubt! Bravo Terry!
