by Marty Dinerstein - Secretary The February meeting of Nassau PTG was held on February 11, 2003. Eight regualar members attended and one guest, Lee Dobrins. The previous minutes were read and approved. Mike Slavin stated that he would be absent for the next two meetings but would have the June party restaurant information at the May meeting. Our speaker was unable to make it becuause of illness, so we had a round table discussion of general problems in the field. Some of the problems discussed were scheduling of future tunings and loose pinblocks. Some people were in favor of using CA glue and others did not use it. In general our discussion gave us a chance to share our problems and solutions with others in the chapter, which made it a worthwhile meeting. The meeting ended at 9:40 PM.
