You guessed it Avery.
Reading between the lines of some previous posts to the list. I believe others got their start there too.
So we must be thankful, for it at least getting us on the right track.

  Was that the one in CA, I belive? If so, I started with that one also. 
  Thankfully, I got away from it! :-)

    Hi List,
    I did 25 years in the Royal Canadian Navy, retiring in 1981.
    My career manager offered me the option of staying in the Navy till age 55.
    I said no, as I had about 100 people wanting a piano tuning. Remember this is about 5 years after I started tuning.
     
    I started doing pianos in 1975, part time, when our piano tuner had a stroke.My Wife said, "who is going to do our piano now?" I was reading a magazine at the time, and saw an ad for a course in piano tuning. I completed the course in 1976.
    (I have since found out that is the bottom of the list, as far as tuning courses go.) But it did get me started.
     
    I joined the Guild, and began attending conventions. It was true, the course I had taken, was a bad course. 
    But many conventions later, I now feel that I give good value for money.
     
    This list and the conventions are the best.
     
    Best regards,
