piano tuning party Memorial day

[Greg Newell]

Jim,
         Thanks for sharing your family fun with us! Sounds as though a god 
time was had by all.
         I'd like to ask about your Walter franchise. I was under the 
impression that you could buy whenever and however many you desired if you 
first bough a qualifying order of 3 or more (I think that's what it was 
anyway). Is this no longer the case?

Greg
