CAUT

Greetings,

Someone recently asked me how long I have been the full-time piano technician at CalArts. (The answer is 42 years--and counting!). Then they asked what the longest continuous stretch served by a CAUT at a single institution is. Hence this post.

Please chime in with how long you, personally, have worked continuously at any given institution. If you know of someone that may not monitor this list that works/has worked continuously, full-time at the same place for a long stretch, please share that as well.

Best,

Alan
