Well, the instruments are now on their way to the capable hands of Morrie
Backun so we shall see. But if any of you have a good idea about what should
happen to the instruments, put it on the list and I'll get the message to
Sara.

The instruments are:

Buffet clarinet # 87839 with George Jenney Mouthpiece
Buffet clarinet # V87
Buffet clarinet # E3S8 (or E3SB?)
Buffet clarinet # 85995.

Really great story Dan!!!

Personally I'd rather see them in the Smithsonian or a Museum such as that
instead of having it rotate from student to student. Just because a student
wins the ICA competition doesn't mean that they will necessarily have a
performing career at all. Means they are on their way, but that's about it
and as we all know there are many factors involved.
