    Frustrating as it may be Being a RPT doesn't mean a hoot to 99% of the 
people I work for. Nobody declined my services or refused to buy one of my 
remanufactured pianos because of it either. I'd rather they employ me because 
of reputation and trust and not titles or hipe anyway.  
     Being an RPT is for me and the testing procedures and knowledge base 
this association brings thru networking. Our clients get the benifit of that 
and don't even KNOW IT.
