Replying publically to this question... (I thought I had, but apparently it only went to Gerry.) I "quitired". Those who might be interested in the position should first visit the pianotech archives from early 2001 (feb/mar) and check out the discussions with Newton Hunt re:workload and "it doesn't matter" After doing that research, take into account that there are 104 pianos, 5 pipe organs and 3 harpsichords in the stables at Luther. Then do the math. It looked like I was being set up to be "Newtoned", (micromanaging and all) but at an (in?)opportune moment stole their thunder and announced my retirement.
