The following query was sent to cmu.cs.general: - - ------------------------------------------------------------------------ From: sholm+@CS.CMU.EDU (Susan E Holm) Subject: Massage in the 'Burgh Date: Wed, 16 Mar 1994 17:00:38 -0500 Can anyone recommend a good masseuse (or masseur) in Pittsburgh? These long hours in front of my terminal have knotted my neck something fierce. I'm looking for a professional for long term therapy, though I'm not sure about all the different types available. Squirrel Hill or Oakland area would be great. Needless to say, I'm not interested in any sensual "for ladies only" or erotic stuff. I'll forward responses to Bovic, who is pitifully outdated on the subject. Thanks, sue.

I have used Erin Simon several times and found her very effective. I do not know if she does massage outside the club, but I could ask her and get back to you if you wish.

He does various types of massage, but it's all "therapeutic" and above board. His phone number is 242-2424 and his name is Kenn Howard. He lives in Point Breeze, about one minute from Squirrel Hill. I'll tell him I gave you his name. Sharyn Henry ........................................................................ Subject: Re: Massage in the 'Burgh Date: Thu, 17 Mar 94 13:16:25 EST From: bam@BAM.GARNET.CS.CMU.EDU The men's and women's health clubs at the JCC has massage people. If you belong to the JCC but not the health club, there is a small additional fee, but I think it is still cheaper than other places. I don't know about the quality.

Subject: Re: Massage in the 'Burgh Date: Thu, 17 Mar 94 14:26:46 EST From: kosak@IBIS.WARP.CS.CMU.EDU I've received several massages from a woman (I also took a full-body massage class taught by her) named Madeleine Hershey. I think she's great. There are many different styles of massage and I don't know exactly what her area of expertise is, but I think she knows a lot about it and I always felt fabulous afterwards. Give her a call at 242-6201. ........................................................................
