K 2571: The Making of a Steinway Grand Piano
 

This may seem like an unusual article for a Soldiers' website but, you've got to admit, this is an unusual group of Soldiers. ;)

It's the story of artistry, craftsmanship, and the essence of what "Made in America" once meant.

It first ran in The Atlantic Monthly in 1982. The airline I worked for at the time carried it as one of their inflight magazines. I'm not sure how it happened but, within a short period of time, it seemed that it had infected the LAX ticket agents, rampers, dispatchers, load controllers and the flight crews. It was a long article so no one was able to read it in one sitting so for several days the break room with filled with employees discussing It. The only other time I remember that happening was when Shogun aired on TV.
