This is a multi-part message in MIME format. ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment Mr. Rohde and all, How I do hope you are on target. However, with Willem's store closing I = guess I'm left with the impression that at least a portion of our = business is suffering. My point was that in the past, industries would lay-off and cut back = etc., but once the demand returned they'd get back on line and produce. = Far too many of these factories are now out of country. Therefore the = layed-off employees are out on the street, the buildings are boarded up, = and people are fighting over lower paying jobs with fewer benefits. At = least that's the story in my part of the country. If you are not = experiencing this (yet), congrats, and the best of luck to you!

I've been in business through three = recessions (late seventies, the one mid eighties, and the "worst economy = in 50 years(?)" of the early nineties) and we've found that the worse = the economy becomes, the busier we become repairing pianos. Has anyone = else found this to be the case? =20 Thanks for any input. =20 Ted Rohde ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
