[Quimpersound] Quimper Sound Newsletter - Special Edition!

[quimpersound at lists.olympus.net]

Hello Everyone,

It has happened.

As many of you may know from the infamous Port Townsend rumor mill - we have
been in negotiations to sell the store for awhile now. Today we can proudly
announce that Quimper Sound will be sold to Mark Hering and Marie Campanoli!


Mark and Marie are ecstatic about taking over. Mark is true local - as a kid
he shopped here when the store opened in 1974 - and Marie is a long time
resident and an executive at Skookum (www.skookum.org). Mark just left his
management job - also at Skookum - to follow his dream of owning a record
store. Both are musicians and, in a bizarre twist of fate, they DJ'd our
wedding seven years ago!

Their enthusiasm for the business is infectious - and while they are full of
ideas of their own, they're really looking forward to hearing from you about
what *you* want.

Running this store has been a dream come true for me. These past eight years
in Port Townsend have been some of the best of my life. Beth and I were
married here and both Sam and Athena were born here. We are going to miss
this place and, especially, its wonderfully eclectic and kind population. We
sincerely wanted to find a committed, local owner for the store - one that
would continue its legacy of independence and commitment to serving our
town. In the partnership of Mark and Marie we've found just that - and we
couldn't be more proud to pass the torch to them.

Beth and I will continue running the store through this weekend and then
close on Monday to do inventory. When the store re-opens later next week it
will be under the enthusiastic new leadership of Mark & Marie.

I will be in and out of the store all weekend - if I don't see you to thank
you personally, please except my and my family's thanks and gratitude for
all you've done to keep Quimper Sound spinning into its 33rd year - and
beyond!

   -Steve
