thanks robh. i'm not egotistic enough to think he would remember me but, who knows? i would appreciate anything you can do to help me reconnect with bob. we played a lot of parties, usually sharing one guitar, passing it back and forth. mutual friends were bob schmoll, al cheko, and zena bathune. i was class of '59 in keewatin, minnesota. he is two months younger and attended hibbing hs.

I'm one of the many here who'd be honoured to chip in....but looks like PG have stolen our thunder with Peter's remarkable humanitarian gesture, above.
I had a sense about this company and product 5 years ago when I decided to go PC and PTPA rather than Mac and Garageband for my laptop recording replacement. That sense, and the character of the folks here at the forum(s) have been confirmed countless times.
Viva PG music...
John

Just catching up on the forum when I saw this post. To Peter Gannon and the PG Staff thank you for such a generous gesture. To the previous posters, thank you as well for your intended support. Do we need to do anythng in regards for a computer? let me know. To Don Gaynor, I have never met you except reading your contributions to the forum. I would like to say that you are very "rich" in caring friends and deserve it.
Keep up your spirits.
Regards
D
