Trying To Find Ernie Teppo

[Micky Byrne]

I am trying to locate a steel player in Minneapolis from 1982 called Ernie Teppo. I met him on my 1st trip to the States. He had just purchased a Williams...Perhaps if Bill Rudolph see's this he can inform me? .. I returned in 1984 to work for 6 months with a Minnisota band, and when I returned to England,Ernie bought my Nashville 400 because I purchased it in Sioux Falls S.D. Ernie showed me pictures of Bill's "new" guitars with new nylon tuners for the raise and lowers, so it seems like it was early days for Williams guitars. Many thanks if someone could help.

Micky, you would stand a better chance of finding him if you put his name in the title.
Not many members are going to open a tab with the vague title of "A Long Shot", but if you put his name in it could draw someone's attention.
Just a suggestion.

Received in the Forum's mailbox:

I have been married to Ernie Teppo since 10/13/1990. I printed out and gave him your email at the time.

Ernie is in 24/7 nursing home care and Hospice care. He has Alzheimer's and other health problems.

I just wanted you to know that he did receive your email shortly after it was written. I believe he was already having memory problems at that time.

Thank you for thinking of him
