The Rookie! >> Larry is one of PTG's best-loved members, Phil. You could not have chosen a better teacher. He will be participating in the Festival of Temperaments program in which I am involved. If you can sing, Larry would be glad to have you in his ad hoc PTG Chorus too. It would be a great group to participate in, if you have the time. The Convention would be an ideal place for you to take the RPT Tuning Exam (and pass with flying colors!). If you feel you are not yet ready for the Technical Exam, there will be plenty of classes which will help you specifically in the areas where there may be gaps in your knowledge and skill. There is even a class which deals specifically with the requirements of the Technical Exam. From this class, you could identify the tasks that you aren't sure about, learn to do them later, then complete your RPT certification. Larry might even be able to give you the Technical Exam at his facility. Bill Bremmer RPT Madison, Wisconsin
