David, We have lost a great technician but don't forget that his legacy lives on in all of us. Technicians such as Newton left us the wisdom that he shared. For years to come the techniques, business practices, and humor of Newton will be repeated in all those who followed his lead. This and contributions of other great technicians enhance the technicians of today and tomorrow, many which will also rise and become recognized as being among the best. Then they too will pass on their wisdom. Newton isn't gone. He exists in the tuning hammer of every technician who followed him. I am reminded of a quote from Clarance, the angel from "It's a Wonderful Life". When George finally realizes how vast his contribution to society was, Clarance says... "Funny isn't it, how one man touches and changes the lives of so many others. You see George, you really did have a wonderful life" Now consider this... "Every time a piano is played, an angel gets it's wings".
