Piano Technicians Guild
Oklahoma Chapter Minutes

December 13, 2002


The Christmas Gathering took place at the home of David & Barbara Bonham.

Much merriment took place around the dinner table amidst the sumptuous offering of food (Barbara’s special pork chops à la syrup & pecans, David’s mashed potatoes rendition from heaven, broccoli, bread, dessert, wine)

... from the uncountable, numerous toasts by Ben
... novel joke telling by Ruthie and Wanda (paws, blue ribbon / Indian)
... true piano tales by Mike, Keith, Ben (the old bitty / Prague koan* / Governer’s lyre)
... David’s dental stretch of absence makes the heart grow fonder
... Bob’s former dog life (did you consult with Rhonda on this one, Bob? :-)
... spectacular piano playing music by the likes of such notorieties as Wanda, Bob,
Keith, Ben, Rhonda
... and so much more before, during and following Jason’s Friday the 13th coming out
event.

I’m certain I’ve left someone out of the picture for events that did occur and were equally substantial in relevance, but unfortunately, they have since escaped my memory of the memoriable night at Ski Island. So, please forgive. It was truly an evening of fabulous fellowship with spirit filled believers.

There were thirteen persons, two dogs (not counting Bob) in attendance:
David & Barbara Bonham, Tim & Ruthie Hast, Mike & Wanda Gilliam, Ben & Debra Davis, Don & Kathy Bonds, Rhonda Ringer, Bob Scheer, Keith McGavern, Chevy, Goliath, and not forgetting Wesley Bonham’s presence earlier in the evening.

Merry Christmas to all, and to all, a good night!,

Respectfully submitted,
Keith McGavern, RPT
