After fourteen torturous months, Pentamere opened for business on May 18, 2002. We could say we were very happy, but that would not begin to express the mingled joy, relief, and pride of finally getting this baby in the air.

	The night before opening—we were only up until 2AM! And only a little nervous!!
	Here's the shot that says it best…standing in front of a open functional business, where there had only been wreckage.
	After fourteen months of concentrated effort, Dan was able to act normally for a change. Here he is. All hail Dan Measel, winner of Tecumseh's $50-hat raffle! And that's just the first day!
	The first (and so far only) command performance of the Pentamere Symphony.
	See the people swarm the counter, desperate in their quest for fine Michigan wine. See the dollar signs in our eyes.
