Al Kich of the Piano Division of the
Kudolph Wurlitzer Co.
After the Convention was over, they

left for the return trip to Maryland
with K. D. (Bud) Streep, Jr.. Sales
Manager of the Wurlitzer Organ Divi-
sion, as their guest.
Commenting on this trip. Mr. Gir-
ardet said, "It is a wonderful way to
attend a Convention, since it is very
relaxing. We had been gone for just
about a month and arrived on the job
healthy, tanned and rested. Figuring
out distance covered, we estimated it to
be 750 nautical miles. Both Joyce and
I highly recommend this method of
traveling to an N.A.M.M. Convention.
Our only regret is that we will not be
able to take the boat to Chicago next
vear."
