Hi, Marvin! :-D

It's ME, Dave Garfield... (WHO!?) I came to visit PAiA Electronics in
1974, just after purchasing a 2720-A with extra VCO and -13 PWM
Convertor/Sine Generator. At that time, you ∗were∗ the "Minstral
Synthesist", according to the latest catalog. We sat in that very same
tree at 1024 Wilshire Blvd. and chatted. Man, that was a Memorable day
for me, as you can tell! You gave me a HANDFUL of MPF-102s for my
Sample-Hold, to see if I could reduce the drift. Ah, well... it's been
probably too long for you to remember any of that.

GLAD to see that you've established yourself in the "Biz" on the West
Coast. I lived in Southern California (Simi Valley, Ventura County,
just outside of the San Fernando Valley) for... Gawd, 12 years or so.
Recent divorce action, and lack of capital have 'forced' me back to
Boulder, Colorado, from whence I came...

So, you know Ramona French left PAiA a few years back, right? Yeah,
she decided to spend some quality time with her family, do some of the
things that she really wanted to do, and won Second Place in the OK
State Fair for her Berry Pie! (Mmmmmmmmm! Pie! ARGHLLRHGH!) Sad to
hear of her leaving (No more mona@...), but Kudos on her!

Hope your life has gone well since our 'chance' meeting oh-so-long-ago!
Sounds like it, from what you've 'spilled' on AH. I wish for you much
continued success and prosperity... and Happiness!

Your "Minstral"-friend,
Dave Garfield - NOT the successful keyboardist...
