Seek Player Tech Dennis Clark
By Mark Dierker

-- non-subscriber, please reply to sender and MMDigest --

In the mid-1980s my dad took an upright player piano from my
grandmother's estate to a man in Nokesville, Virginia, to be
repaired.  His name was Dennis Clark and he specialized in fixing
player pianos.  He said any profits he made were donated to his
church.

Mr. Clark kept in touch over the years and reported his progress in
fixing the old player.  About 1998 my dad got a call from him saying
the piano was nearly completed.  He was getting ready to move "down
South" and he would drop off the piano on his way.  And that's the last
my folks ever heard from him.  They figured at the time that he just
ran out of time with the move and that he'd contact them when he got
settled.  But they have not heard from him since.

It has now fallen to me to try and track down the piano.  None of us
are angry about the situation, but we'd just like to find out what
happened to our piano and get it back if possible.  If anyone has any
information on Mr. Dennis Clark, formerly of Nokesville, VA, please
contact me at dierker@frontiernet.net or by phone at 815-630-4591.

Thanks in advance,
Mark Dierker
