      It feels strange that it is gone.  That factory is 90 miles from Meridian, (Peavey Headquarters) so every trip there via two lane roads was always a memory.  There was an apartment in the building and the Wards drive in/fast food restaurant to keep us alive.  Now it's all gone.  That is what makes the fans like you so special.  The drums still, and may always exist and every time they get played they seem to make people happy.  I am a very lucky guy.

          I can't figure out how to describe it.  Peavey was all growth and all grow - until - suddenly it wasn't.

            Once Melia died, I was skeptical about Hartley's ability to keep it together. Then I met Walter Lutz... and I immediately got a sinking feeling. The switch to Oracle software as an ERP happened then.... as a Dealer, it was SO frustrating as our backorders piled up... poor Lenay heard me whine several times per week... :(
