I LOVE YOU PEOPLE Well, you folks sure had fun with my name, and I must admit I got several laughs from the posts. I did not try to find all the times my name appeared in, espe- cially in "subject" lines, after all bandwidth if a valuable commodity. Ron, you need to put two more zeros after the point in my walk MACH speed. For taking my name I get to count coup on the following people.

Guy Newton is not here. Kenneth W. Burton > Newton is not here. Susan Kline Dear Newton, Welcome back. search for "Newton" and "Hunt". <bg> Phil Bondi Newton will appreciate it too!... Guy >Poor Newton! Kenneth W. Burton Poor Newton! Les Smith PS Maybe Newton Hunt will have more to say on this subject when he returns from vacation. Jon Page Newton, I'm back online as normal. :-) Rob Kiddell, Could you please convert 5859.375 pounds P.S.I. into Newtons of force? 8-) Kent Swafford >IF YOU SEE THIS POST..... insert the name "Newton" somewhere in every post you send for the next few days. Get it? Possible topics might include the bad effects of fig newtons when dropped behind grand fallboards, or perhaps Sir Isaac Newton as the father of all the physics that is built into pianos, or perhaps we could discuss the hunt we often undertake to discover and eradicate the various piano squeaks, buzzes, and rattles. It could all make Newton's newton hunt, uh, search very productive in a few days. Don <drose@dlcwest.com> I woundn't give a fig...Newton that is! LOL Ron Nossaman >IF YOU SEE THIS POST..... insert the name "Newton" somewhere in >every post you send for the next few days. Get it? > >ps. If the whole idea offends you, don't participate.

Ed Foote Willem Blees You just became part of "it" by mentioning his name. Barrie, I wonder if Newton is enjoying his Rum Barrei, I wonder if Newton is enjoying his hand rolled cigis Jon Page This is only a test but I do know that Newton will like to know that I am back on. Barrie, I wonder if that is one of Newton's Laws Jim Bryant (FL) > Since Newton is on vacation I will try to take up the slack and > reply re: Brambach :-) > Stephen I hope something here helps, although I am sure that Newton > could, and would, have said it better :-) Guy Or as Barrie says, one of Newton's laws. No need to get physics-al. Jon Page I'm sure Newton would agree. David A. Vanderhoofven, RPT I am sure that if Newton Hunt were here that he could help! We miss you, Newton! Jon Page I think Newton says the same thing. Guy >I think Newton says the same thing. >Jon Page Les Smith FIRST, you are invoking NEWTON'S FIRST LAW: CYA!!!!! :-) From: Roger Jolly <baldyam@sk.sympatico.ca> Subject: Re; Newton Gate Danny Moore (TX) (I'm sure that Newton would agree, were he not on vacation!) John Elving, RPT Never tune for an inferior decorator, even if your name is Newton! Danny Moore Subject: Re: Re; Newton Gate Roger Jolly wrote: > I wonder if our dear friend Newton will crow about a winter > holiday, in advance next year. The heck with vacation, I wonder what his wife calls those neat little fig cookies she makes? Jon Page Subject: Re: Re; Newton Gate I bet Newton will think twice before announcing his departure and say he will search for posts containing his name upon return. That should be Newton's Second Law. Roger Jolly >I wonder if our dear friend Newton will crow about a winter holiday, in >advance next year. Food for thought and commment. Guy I wonder if Newton knows what "coyote ugly" means?? Guy Maybe Newton knows, but he's not here now, is he? Guy I bet it's more humid where Newton is relaxing than it is here, now. John Elving, RPT As they say, no Newton is good Newton (or something like that). John Elving, RPT That may be true, but you will surely need to HUNT for that epidural layer. This is something I learned while watching *Newton's Apple* with my son on the boob tube. From: Jerry Hunt <jhunt@geocities.com> Subject: Re: Taxing Newton(was: HUNT for messages) Guy Aw.... come on Danny! :^) Newton wouldn't wimp out on this one! From: Delwin D Fandrich <pianobuilders@olynet.com> Subject: Re: Newton Re: Refinishing > Jim Bryant (FL) > Stephen I hope something here helps, although I am sure that Newton > could, and would, have said it better :-) Ralph Martin If Newton were on line now...he'd be sure to know. Ralph Martin I wonder where Newton gets his?? Ralph Martin I should have let Newton answer this one. Danny Moore (TX) Even though Newton said I should get something else, I didn't follow his advice, so now I'm having to Hunt for parts. Ralph Martin (I think our good friend Newton should answer this) (he's gonna kill us!) Les Smith Maybe that should be Wacko! Newton Hunt would know for sure. Ron Nossaman Say "Goodnight" Newton. Elian Degen anyway, I=B4ll check with Newton too >Ralph Martin >If Newton were on line now...he'd be sure to know.

Come on, Newton!! > >Ralph Martin Roger Jolly The silence of our esteemed brother Newton is almost deafening!!! Les Smith Hi, Newton. Welcome back. You were missed. The list just wasn't the same without you. We often mentioned your name while you were gone! :-) Jim Bryant (FL) I am sure that when Newton gets home, on Monday, that he will agree with me. David We miss you, Newton! Jon Page Hi Newton, any interesting reading? Avery Welcome back Newton!!!! Jim Bryant (FL) Hey y'all; Newton is back ! He has solved the problem of Kimballs top of the line, so our faith in him was not misplaced. :-) Welcome home Newton, we expect a short report on ceegars, liquid refreeshments and activities during your absence ...........after all everyone has been taking up slack fo ya. :-) Christopher D. Purdy There are a few caveats I could think of, perhaps Newton will have some more when he returns! (We miss you New- ton!) Les Smith PS Did anyone mention that Kohler and Campbell once built a piano called the "Newton"? No kidding. Keith A. McGavern Now that's a good one! :-) Susan Just to put the cherry on top of the sundae, Newton gets home today. Barrie Not to be confused with Newton 's Law Roger Jolly Kind of reminds me of that ole tooner that worked out of the Rump, who ran a great series of articals in by gone Journals, I'm sure Newton knew him personally. Newton day is now D minus one. Jon Page Newton will be back tomorrow, maybe he'll have something to say:-) Barrie I bet this will bring a chuckle to Newton's chops Barrie Maybe Newton has a stake in them as well Susan Or will Jerry have to wait for Newton to get some real help? That might make him late on his estimate. Michael Jorgensen With Newton and CA glue it's likely possible. Michael Jorgensen This is a pianotech list, you should be talking about items like technical things about Hunt pianos and Newton pianos- Did either of them ever build a piano with nauga? Dan Hallett, Jr. RPT If anyone could do it, Newton could figure it out. Rob Goodale, RPT It is located near the beautiful and ever-so-popular vacation resort town of "Newton", Arizona. The Nagas run wild everywhere, and are beautiful at this time of year. Guy corrected quote: "Ptolemy made a universe that lasted 1400 years, Newton made a universe that lasted 300 years...... Einstein has made a uni- verse, and I don't know how long it will last." George Bernard Shaw Dan Hallett, Jr. RPT If anyone could do it, Newton could figure it out. Joh Page T minus 1 day to Newton. John Welcome home, Newton. We've missed you, over and over and over. and over and over....We did indeed! Welcome Home, Newton! Don, Susan, Roger I couldn't give a fig (Newton of course) Newton is the all new Imperial weights and measures. A New Ton is still heavy and equals the weight of two model D's. Steinway will modify their brochures to read Weight=1/2 a Newton. I wonder what fraction of a Newton Newton weighs? Shall we all start measuring weight by fractions of two Steinway D's? Newton! Welcome home! (whenever) How was your trip? I hope Newton won't mind a quote from a private post: Jan 15th is the day I return from Cuba. Have fun and don't say anything interesting until I get back. Can we hold out? Can we keep our standards up? Can anyone find another meaning for the word "Newton"? Remember, it has to be fun but dull! Welcome home, Newton. We've missed you, over and over and over. Avery You mean someone hasn't been saving all the "Newton" posts in order to forward them to him? It would have been a great time- saver for him. :-) Roger Jolly Question! How on earth do we police Newton to ensure that he follows through and reads all his valuable mail? Maybe we could devise some kind of test. Les Smith Probably Newton could, too! Fred W. Tremper, RPT Subject: Newton for Congress!!! Do you think Newton should run for Congress? Just think! Newt Hunt!!! Richard Wagner RPT Hey, maybe someone could help me settle an argument I'm having with a friend. Was NEWT gingrich ON the HUNT for red october? ... Couldn't resist. Susan, Jim, Ron Although I am sure that Newton will be pleased of this description of him it might be just a little 'tooooo' much don't you think??? :-) Now, now ... tut. So, you want to change the subject line from: Re: Appraisal of old Chickering to: "Re: Appraisal of old Newton"? Does anyone know the minimum age for Japan's Living Treasures? They all seem as old as the hills. Sorting through all his posts will age Mr. N. Hunt quite enough, IMHO. Second the motion. Does this mean he will have to attend meetings and wear one of those hats with horns? No, NO!! He _mustn't_ wear a hat with horns! He might be mistaken for a Nauga! They're bringing in premium prices these days! He would be in mortal danger, especially if he ever visited Waco! Ron Nossaman Are you back yet Newton? Jon Page Newton is going to wish he had stayed with that piana in Havana. >Susan >"Re: Appraisal of old Newton"? Jon Page Newton is going to wish he had stayed with that piana in Havana. >Guy >Def. #5 of "hunt" is kinda interesting..... Wonder who's bell >will get >rung? Of course, Newton (Isaac) WAS the first scien- >tist to be buried at Westminster Abbey.... that's got a nice ring to it... >and without Newton, we would all be stuck with black & white TVs.... Jon Page I think #3 applies more to the feeling Newton will have after his vacation with fine Havana cigars and Cuba Libres. From: Jon Page <jpage@capecod.net> Subject: Taxing Newton(was: HUNT for messages) I hope Newton has time to file his quarterly income tax return when he gets back on the 15th. I just finished entering December's check book figures into Quicken for last quarter results, then TurboTax will import everything. All I have to do is hunt for more deductions. Les Smith Just ask Newton! Leslie I did hear some Newton guy was doing some marvelous things with figs... Ron Nossaman Maybe you should find out, make THAT your standard, and express the weight of two D's in Hunts. We could make up a chart and everything. BTW, he walks at about MACH .00404. Perhaps Newtons are really a unit of velocity. Guy new ton (n t 'n, ny t -) n.

Ron Acknowledged receipt of the below message is redeemable in cash or cookies by contacting Roger Jolly <baldyam@sk.sympatico.ca> and naming your flavor. Roger Jolly Were there ever any pianos built in Newton? Massachusetts that is. Del The Newton I know is not nearly as obnoxious as that other one. Danny Moore Hello and welcome home Newton! As you can see, you were sorely missed by virtually everyone on the list. You're right, of course. I did forget your name on this one, but you were included on most of my posts. Hope you had a great trip. I sincerely appreciate your contribu- tions to the list and, most of all, your sense of humor. Newton Hunt wrote: > Danny, you forgot my name. > Newton Danny Moore I certainly agree. There's no telling how many bogus messages he'll have to HUNT through. Jim Bryant (FL) I am sure that when Newton gets home, on Monday, that he will agree with me. Conrad, I think that one of Newtons objectives during this vacation was to visit the "nagau" ranches in the Tampa area with an eye toward starting one at home. Danny Moore Oh, we must remember to share this with Newton Hunt when he gets back from vacation! Guy Wow! What an idea! It's like....REAL bad news. My old Atlas says: NEWTON, KOHLER & CAMPBELL, See K&C numbers for uprights, and........BRAMBACH !!! for grands. Can you imagine?? (wonder if he knows) Only four "HUNTS" are listed, with no real info. Ralph Martin Have I told you guys and gals today how much I miss the posts from our old friend ,Newton? Danny Moore Or we can wait 'til Newton gets back and ask his opinion. Danny Moore We probably should confirm this with Newton when he gets back. Ed Foote Or we can wait 'til Newton gets back and ask his opinion. Ed Foote You really think Newton would have an opinion on this? nah, Ron Nothing fun going on in the ol' Pianotech Treehouse. Newton would know what to do, he would Hunt something up. Guy At this point, thanks to his incredibly mature sense of humor, kind understanding, love of his fellow humans, irrepressible patience, adherence to moral values, admiration for technicians, respect for life in general, and massive imbibing of rum, etc, etc, he'll probably not kill any of us........on the other hand, he might just delete anything that DOES have a "Newton"! By the way, Sir Newton, if you can't find the festering wound that started this foray,.......... yes... twas I. GOTCHA!! Ralph Martin I should have let Newton answer this one. ralph m martin I once saw a newton a rock. Silly ol' Ralph Jim Bryant (FL) Cause Newt don't got no "yankee" accent. :-0, and you told us we couldn't call you Newt ! Roger Jolly Shame on you! for casting such aspersions on our beloved brother Newton. Phil Bondi ..Hunting down all the Newton posts(!), John Elving, RPT First, Jim, you need to hunt for the right place, then practice, practice, practice! Gina Carter, Charlotte NC Just turn it off. Then you won't be bothered with having to Hunt for the lights.
