To all colleagues

[antares]

Thank you very much Bill Ballard for your kind words.
Destiny will undoubtedly follow its course and all pieces of all puzzles
will eventually form a harmonious image.
Tomorrow I'll leave Holland for a hopefully nice vacation in my favorite
country : the US of A.
To you and all my friends on pianotech :
peace to you all indeed.

André Oorebeek
