[CAUT] Water/Alcohol on Yamaha Hammers

[Barbara Richmond]

Hey, hey!

Jeff,

All was not smooth going when I was working towards the creation of a staff
position at Illinois Wesleyan.  It was when an "incident" occurred (sort of
turned mild mannered me into Dragon Woman--fire breathing, if you know what
I mean) that the piano faculty decided they should back me up and <do>
their part.  In my case, the head of the school of music was the problem,
but all documents (including faculty pleas) got copied to other members of
the university administration--provost, the head financial guy, etc.

About the hammers, how big is the hall?

Barbara Richmond, RPT
