I can say for sure that my students are more honorable than your average mutual fund manager. A lot more. The thieves were almost surely professionals. They were after computer equipment, taking the newest and leaving the rest behind. The horn was, sadly, just gravy. Best, John PS In case anyone missed the original post: Dwight Purvis, horn instructor and director of bands at the University of Virginia, has asked me to post this notice: Please be on the lookout for a Conn 8D, sn M56642, that was stolen in Charlottesville, Virginia, on the weekend of 1-2 November, 2003. The horn is in very good condition, with few dings and dents and with 90% of its lacquer remaining. The bell is fixed, and the horn was taken without its case. Because Charlottesville is a small town, the thieves might try to sell the instrument in Richmond, Virginia, or Washington, DC. If you have any information about the horn, please contact Mr. Purvis directly. email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] office phone: (434) 924-6881/924-3052 ===== J.
