City By the Bay....by the way is, A442

[Ricard de La Rosa]

Hi Dave:

You are the finest person!  That is where it all began for Pro
Piano....Sheldon's shop on the ocean in Pacifica.  I hitch-hiked to and
from the place every day, refused nary a dime's pay, and generally fell
in love with this business.  what a great time it was.

I'm going to "die in the saddle", Dave.  I am good and relegating
duties, sure, but there are always so many to relegate that I usually
have ended up doing about 10 times a "conventional" work load.  It has
not been "work" for me, but has been a lot of fun.  Almost like a
perpetual vacation.

Thank you for your contributions and for your friendship.  I will be in
and around The City more and more in the coming years....needing to
familiarize myself more with that operation....which is marvelously
strong and compactly efficient.
 

Over for now,
