Hi there,
I wonder if anyone remembers Barbara Goldin who was at the camp and school
around 1964. I work with Barbara's sister Nan (or Nancy as she was known
back then) and would greatly appreciate contact with anyone who would be
willing to share their memories of Barbara.
Best wishes

Hello Glaydinites,
This is a small world story. Last summer I was motorcycling
around Frederick & Loudoun Counties on the old Harley (yes, THAT
old Harley) on my way to see the Nighthawks (you have to be a
certain age, but Stevie would know) at Payne's Biker Bar in
downtown Leesburg. I soon found myself in conversation with a
couple of women who were volunteering at the Court House concerts
(talk about town/gown conflicts!). The younger of the two
mentioned that she had graduated from Loudoun County High School,
so I asked her if she knew Josh Bearman, Dick & Barbara's
youngest. Knew him? She (and the entire female population of
LCHS) had a HUGE crush on him. Will we ever escape the memory of
Glaydin?

Eve Birch here, not in missouri anymore. The
starplace address kept pphhuutzing on me so I let
it waller-still up is meanass38@hotmail.com.
Please put something eyecatching in the subject as
I delete junkmail with a bit too much enthusiasm.
Now that my newly renovated and college
edumacated love god and partner of 10 years is
finally out of school (he got hurt building
powerlines and Nat'l rehab sent him to school-we
were penpals during the 2 years this took), we
have decided to seek our fortune here on the east
coast-him in the city and m'self in the virginia
hills.......I cannot cover all the changes this
has kicked off in and out of my head. We're
sheltering in a yuppy village (fairfax) till I can
find us a modest farmhouse out of town but along
the comuter route somewhere. Damn it's high priced
out here! I miss my ozark friends,my chickens, and
my goat, Puck. The organization I was working on
is still there but thinned, and I plan on trying
to launch another one here-everybody seems to like
the idea.But first things first-I need a
chickenhouse, and maybe a phoneline to call my
own.
Hey,Who has membership over at classmates.com?
Can you shoot messages to Julie Sasso and Andy
Shelton and the other 79'ers for me? I can't
access their addresses.
Much love and gratitude for the letters I've
gotten,
Eve
I will find the path toward my soul's true nature
that begins right here where I am shipwrecked,
rather than in pious hopes for a perfect life.

An excerpt from Morgan's Site: page #2, June
30,2000 By: Sue Storherr
"I was sitting in my room when Johnny knocked on
the door and asked me if I wanted to see something
cool. Of course, I was skeptical but decided to
go anyway. He brought me to his room and pointed
to his closet where Johnny and Lowell had dug a
hole big enough to fit about 6 people under their
room. I'll never forget that night."
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Sue and I have been kinda kicking this thing about
"The Hole" around for the past couple days and
this is my most recent e-mail back to her:
Subject: "The Hole" Revisited. September 25, 2000
Dear Sue,
Today has been steady rain since the early
morning, so I decided to venture up to what we now
call "Cabin # 2" to explore the legendary "Hole
beneath the closet floor" about an hour ago.
With flashlight, crowbar, hammer and nail-puller
in hand, I proceeded through the front door,
turned right down the dark hallway and entered the
last bedroom on the left.
In the closet, a large piece of 3/4 inch thick
plywood had been nailed over the floor carpet.
With considerable effort, I was able to pull the
six large rusted nails that George had driven in
it to seal the entrance shortly after this "Party
Hideaway" was discovered.
With the plywood removed, the outline of the small
trap door was faintly visible in the carpet.
Throwing back the carpet, I pried loose and
removed the age old door that had been cut into
the floor so many years ago. Peering into
darkness, with the musty smell of age rising from
below me, I felt somewhat like an archeologist
must feel before entering a ancient tomb.
Breaking the darkness with my flashlight I was
rewarded beyond my expectations. There, below me,
was not only the large "hole" that had been dug,
but lying to one side was the implements that had
been used to dig it.
I first retrieved a rusted shovel with a somewhat
rotted and sawed off handle totaling about 20
inches in length. This was just the right length
for working in the cramped clearance when the
digging began.
The next item I brought forth was a five pound
"hand maul" (a small, short handled sledge
hammer), fairly well preserved and still usable.
Examining the dents in the top edge of the shovel
(where you would normally put your foot) I
deducted that the "hand maul" had been used to
drive the shovel into the ground.
The last item to be retrieved has me bewildered
and confused. Lying next to the center supporting
wall, at the top edge of the hole and directly
below the floor opening, was an aged, high top,
size 9, leather work shoe. It was for the right
foot and appears to have been nearly new when it
was left there.
I could find no evidence of a leg bone anywhere.
I therefore deducted that the shoe was left
behind, or fell from someone's foot, during a
hasty final exit from the "Party Dungeon".....
just before George sealed the entrance. I
replaced the trap door, and as I loosely layed the
plywood over the carpet I tried to imagine what
may have transpired beneath this floor in the
years past........ Any testimonies, anyone ??
With nearly all else explained, the mystery of the
single shoe remains unsolved. Any clues you may
have will be greatly appreciated ?? =0) =0) =0).
Have a wonderful & happy day Sue !

Subject: Update on sale of Glaydin !
Dear Glaydinites.
Referring to this following, previous, announcement concerning the sale
of Glaydin:
"As it now stands, 80 % of the property has been sold to another
organization. This leaves us only 10 acres, 2 dorms, one small cabin
and the newer classroom building to continue on with. In the future,
these will all be fully occupied, and used, by staff and students the
year around. There is presently some hold up on a tax form for the sale
to be finalized."
IT NOW APPEARS THAT THIS DEAL HAS FALLEN THROUGH (As a couple of others
have since I have been here). I was informed of this yesterday by the
Secretary / Accountant.
"As it now stands" ...... 50 acres has now been sold to Capitol Church at
Tyson's Corner Virginia (Amos Dodge is the Minister there and his wife
Sue sings with the "Gathers")..... Supposedly, yesterday, they took over
all of the payments on the mortgage which was in serious arrears
($361,000.00) and Glaydin was about to be sold by the bank. In addition,
there is $120,000.00 in other loans & debts that "Glaydin Center" has
incurred, which I understand the church is also paying off.
This will leave "Athletes and Businessmen for kids" owning the remaining
42 acres, but under the control of "Capitol Church". The pastor "Amos
Dodge" is now on Glaydin's board of directors.
"Capitol Church" is a member of "Foursquare Churches" and it is my
understanding they are going to provide the funds to repair all of the
buildings and once again open Glaydin as a year-round camp (which is the
way it originally began).
This is all that I know at this time. I will keep you informed of any
further late breaking news concerning Glaydin.
Except that it is: 15 hours and 32 minutes until the launch of "Glaydin
Reunion 2000"
=====================================
Do nothing without deliberation.
And when you have acted, do not regret it.
Do not go on a path full of hazards.
And do not stumble over stony ground.
Do not be overconfident on a smooth way.
And give good heed to your paths.

Hello all - just had a very long e-mail from Lori
Legator. She is still in Guatamala and now has
four kids including twin girls. Three brilliant
red heads & a blond.She has expressed some
interest in the reunion but obviously need to work
out some pretty heavy logistics. Talked to both
Levy & Tweedie and they will also try to attend.
I've spoken to Barbara Bearman several times and
have asked her more than once why she doesn't post
on the sight. " Uhhhhhhhhhhh, I don't know, I just
feel, you know.........."
I'm sorry, I don't get it. And where the hell
is a post from Dickie???? What is wrong with you
people? Damn it Bearman, I know you've seen all
this stuff, get off your eastern shore ass and
write something. And Kenny, Boo Boo, Ibby, Marty &
Frances. Don't tell me none of youse haven't read
all these posts. Puh-lease
Peace & Glaydin, Steve Jaeger

Hi All,
I'm in the process of automating some of the
maintainince aspects of the Glaydin pages,
including the mailing of notices. So, if you get
messages from me that don't make sense or if you
seem to be *not* getting notices from me when the
pages change, or you see broken links or broken
pages, please please do let me know about it so I
can fix it.
Also I have added a new page called Freeverse. It
is for whatever you might have to say -- prose,
poem, tic stream. The basic idea being something
like, "Context SMONTEXT, I'm FREEEEKIIIN
HERE!!!!". I stuck up an old poem just so no one
would have to stare down a blank canvas.

Dear Morgan, I have put up a special page for
downloading "The Glaydin Story" and there is a
link to it from my main page. It also contains a
link to your page for posting (if they havent
already) The file size is 1 megabyte and took me 8
minutes to download. I hope to upload a high
quality verson (2 mb) next week, but this one is
very good. That will give people a choice of
which they want.
https://www.angelfire.com/de/n4crs/TheGlaydinStory.html
I felt that this recording should not be for the
general public and so I password protected it.
There are two requirements for download:
(1)- Must be Alumni or Faculty of Glaydin and
posted something on your page (for verification).
(2)- Must e-mail me for the password.
All the information is on the page.
Take care,

Wow !, Morgan,
This thing is blowing "Wide Open" Peggy "Sligh"
was here (at Glaydin) about 2 weeks ago. We have
got to get something going for a renuion this
summer. I am doing all that I have the time to
devote from here, but you guys are #1 on my list.
I really want to see this place amount to
something, like it was back then. I would do
anything to see that. By the way, I just found a
7 inch "Reel to Reel" tape that describes the
purpose of Glaydin. I am transfering it to
cassette and will also post it for download to
anyone that may want it. I think it is great, it
tells the entire story of Glaydin. Download time
will be somewhat extensive as it is about 20
minutes in length. I will very soon (within the
next few days) post the download site on my page
There are testimonies from students, as well as a
statement from Dick Bearman.
You are free to post this on your page, Morgan

Hi all - It's Steve Jaeger again. Hi Kim, glad you
made it. I only myself found out about this sight
a few days ago from Barbara Bearman. I've run a
search for "Glaydin" before on onther search
engines and have come up empty. I just tried
Yahoo by chance. My first impresiion of "mlarch"
was Mudlark C(onfederation)H(elvatia). But I don't
know. this whole thing does ring strongly of
Dickie. Who cares, at least it's up. I never in my
wildest dreams thought I would once again see the
musings of Keith Oshins. Happy he's doing so well.
Come one, come all. Glaydin still has this
incredible power in my life thirty years later.
Anyone out there remember Erik Bretschneider? He
went to Glaydin from '61 - He is my wife's cousin
( what a weird coincidence ) and lives in Hawaii

Hello There,
I woke up 2 hours early to build a fire and enjoy my
coffee in peace before the rush of motherhood and
matereal life swept me up. I guess I'll sleep enough
when I'm dead.
I thought it was a good time to let you all know- my
immediate and extended family and those 2 that don't
walk with us anymore, my new friends,my old friends
here and beyond, my children here and those that walk
with their Uncle and Aunt, just how much I think about
you and love you. You live so close under my skin with
me. Each day each one of you pops into my head when I
need some aspect of you to help me through the moment.
I thank you for loving me. And not killing me when I
drove you to the brink of the abyss.
I'd always figured life would get easier as time wore
the hard edges off me and the huge chip I've always
carried on my shoulder and now I find that untrue.
The wearing has happened, yes. I get more patient
with the small stuff, I listen a little better and
with a bit more compassion for others' paths. I am
more fearless and less clutter-minded than I once was,
more sure of my existance and my right to that
existance. The second flat tire in a day makes me
laugh instead of cry, even enjoying others' success
without envy is now a joyous thing.
But the struggle doesn't lessen, just my appreciation
for those tiny moments-like when my coffee turns out
perfect, or the arthritis ebbs for a moment....
The moments people, those are what we live for, those
precious moments when we've made someone happy with a
simple gesture or a good joke, the satisfaction of
labor done and done well, when the children are
content for a milisecond, when we feel we belong in
the universe and are one with everything in every
process.
This is something that only time, hard or soft, can
teach. For if we spend every day rushing for
we-don't-know-what, that precious time ticks by,
waiting patiently for us to stop and breathe, to love
the moment.
Sometimes I take a chair and a mug of something warm
and my pipe and I go outside to listen to the sun set.
I take you all with me, or I leave you inside and just
pray for you, that you also feel the deep love and
comfort you've given me.
Bless you.
Eve

Eve in the Ozark hills here,
Humbled greetings to Mike, Jean, Dick and you others
hiding in the wings.While my little corporation is growing
feathers (it REALLY is tiny yet), I've been doing some
interesting sidework to keep the roof up.I promised I
wouldn't take a paycheck till we have enough in the account
to run regular operations-a long way off yet.I've been
flippin pizzas and selling candles and banty eggs and tarot
readings and making doughnuts and arts and crafts with a few
of our signed on artists-fun and silly stuff. Our site will
be showcasing some of this and other beautiful stuff soon
and all the breakdowns of money will be posted right there
so folks know just how much is going to the artist and how
much to the work we're doing in the community.If anyone has
artwork they'd like to sell from our site-shoot me a line
and/or a photo and you're on.
Ren,If there isn't a donation or a steamtable or a free
building behind the spring house, it's NOT going on my

Anybody tracked down Wally Pheiffer or Dove or Happy
Acosta or "Big Sam"(boys club boxing champ-circa '78?) yet?
Laura Patrick contacted me a few years back-she lives in
Manassas(home of the Bobbits!) and at last count had 2
rambunctious kids in tow. Had dinner with Lynn Rowheder/nee
Wilkenson also a few years back and she was beeming over a
boy child and teaching in Fairfax county-no newer info

[ I have set up a mirror of the Glaydin page at
http://members.xoom.com/mlarch/glaydin.html
It is only a mirror but because me and my ISP
are not on the best of terms I though it prudent
to put it up and get it's url indexed by the
major search engines which can take a long time
for some engines.
So, if you see broken stuff on either page (main
or mirror), which I may have introduced in the
transition, let me know.
And on yet another note, there is now a "LINKS" link

Hey Morgan,
How about a link to my page ?
Thought I would have a little "trivia" fun
I have permission to use the pic, But I want you to guess who it is also
I can add more, for anyone who wants to play. But they must e-mail me,
stating that it it is OK to publish their pic, and what, if any "CLUES"
they want to give.
On June 13, 1999, I fell about 5 feet from a ladder while staining wood
rails around the sleeping loft of a cabin I was remodeling. The phone
was ringing and I was hurrying to answer it. I broke my left femur bone
in 5 places between the hip and knee and I was in surgery for about 4.5
hours while they installed "stainless steel" pins and screws. The femur
bone was broken off at the hip, just above the knee and 3 places in between.
I was discharged from the hospital on June 24,1999. It will be August 15

Subject: Re: Update from Ren (glaydin)
Hi Ren
You are still working on a snail mail list yes? I mean, do you mind
if I put a more clear pointer up on the Glaydin page to that effect ?
I'm just thinking to make it a little more clear but don't want to
send you traffic if your not ready for it...
...................................................................
Hi again Morgan
The answer is Yes, and to update U on what is happening here we go:
I now have in my possession everything Louise has ready at the time.
All I have to do is type it into a data base.
Peggy Sligh was here on Wednesday for a few hours and looked through
some of the records which are stored in two different places, both damp.
She has suggested that she take them to her place in Manassas, where she
has a dry shed to put them in. There, they would be safe as well as
convenient for her to sort as they aren't in perfect order by any means.
She would then be the "Official Glaydin Student Record Person" and all
record inquires would go directly to her. This is fine with me, as they
would no longer suffer the moisture damage they are suffering here in the
areas where they are now stored. It would also free up that space here.
Before I could give her a definite YES, I felt I should get a final
approval from Mr. Curl who is the current director. He is currently
driving back from Texas in a moving van with his Mom, who is moving here.
Peggy is currently awaiting a positive decision on this and I can see no
reason why it should be otherwise. He should be extremely happy and may
offer to haul them for her in our van.
I really regret that I was unable to spend more time with her and her
two, new little Mother's day presents. Twin girls.
I was working on my "Glaydin Service Vehicle" in the shop when she
arrived and missed her arrival by about a half hour. Not long after
that, George's mowing tractor broke down and I had to repair that. He
thinks that thing is a stump remover.
At any rate, Peggy did spend a good while with George and I talking in
the shop as I was finishing up, got to wake up Louise sleeping in her
recliner, got to look through some musty smelling records (that goes away
after a good spray with air freshener).
And as a final gesture, I upgraded the air pressure in all the tires on
her car with some "Good Fresh Glaydin Country Air". She'll get an extra
10,000 mi. now.
...................................................................
OK to post wherever U want, Morgan. You might want to get rid of some of
that other stuff in the side bar, I don't know. Things are still
picking up and I have a idea that there are a lot of other people
watching this page and just haven't posted, like the last one.
You could be headed for a landslide. The word is getting out.

Subject: Glaydin News Update
...................................................................
Hi Ren,
Well, ya know, I thought about this lot. But I am just too sensitive to
net privacy to feel good about putting snail mail addresses out in the
open like this. I thought three things: (1) Just ask anyone/everyone that
posts or has posted a message if they want me to add their snail mail
address to an in-the-open page, or, (2) point whom ever might be asking to
you or someone else that keeps a list of snail mail addresses, or (3) keep
a list in the form of an email that can be sent to everyone periodically
or when ever a new address is added to the list. What ever, I think that
the lower the management cost the better. (I'll put this in the side bar
and see if anyone cares to bug me about it one way or the other).
I like number 3 most. With (maybe ?) a note in the clear that anyone who
can send you an SASE, and maybe a small sum of money for handling fee,
can get the list through the usps. There are people no doubt that are
lurking who might like a copy of the list also. I need to address them,
let them know that I can add them to a different, non-disclosed email
address list to be notified of changes etc... Of course there are tools
like urlmon with which to watch the page but not everyone cares to deal
with the net at that level.
As to the side-bar thing, soon I'll build archives of it in zip and gzip
format so that it can be downloaded, the main page likewise. Also I need
soon to split the main page into several smaller ones so load time is a
little shorter (I've yet to 'ave anyone offer me a T1 ;-)) Futher, I need
to mirror the Glaydin pages somewhere else because I am not having a very
fun time with netcon (my isp) and need to be able to drop them at some
point. This also means re-submiting the url to all the search engines
which is even less fun and the main reason I have not done it yet.
On another note, what is the tax status of Glaydin proper ? Can people
here maybe make tax free donations to Glaydin (since most everyone seems
to be employed at some level) ? This may be a more better way for people
to help keep the school going (since the folks that have posted also seem
to be living busy lives).
Regards,
mailto:mlarch@ix.netcom.com
...................................................................
Morgan,
I agree, and I think your # 3 solution is best.
I had not thought about the fact that unknown others could gain access to
that information, to use in a bad way.
About 2 hours ago I got zapped with a filthy remark from some person with
a ICQ # of 11650864 & a e-mail of <rodrick@netvigator.com> using a
nickname of "Rodrick". I was talking with Eve Birch's daughter,
Christina, at the time on ICQ.
There are really some weirdo's out there.
I can save the list to disk. and then e-mail it direct to those that
request it. Either as text, database or spreadsheet.
For the "Snailmailers" I can do the SASE with no problem. But I would
not accept a service fee unless it was directed as a Camp donation.
By the way we are still accepting reservations for camps, as always and I
remember that some were asking about that.
As I was writing this I got a call from the Director, and he gave Peggy
Sligh the OK to get all the records so I must inform her of that. He was
extremely happy that she would do that.
We are a tax free organization, and I will send U the information on that
soon.
You can post as much of this e-mail as U wish, if U like.
As a new user of Internet, I don't know about how your page is made or
anything like that. I'm just an older guy learning some new tricks. My
bag is what's on the inside of this machine, the electronics.
See U agn soon,

It is delightful to see that you of Glayden are keeping up with each other.
Let me help you straighten out your list.
I am Mary K. Dresser's mother, Mary T. Dresser. Obviously, that causes
confusion. Anyway, you got me on your list rather than my daughter. So why
don't you delete the dresserink e-mail and instead replace it with:
MKDRESSER @ ozline.net
I'm sure she'd like to chat.
I'm a writer. You can buy my books when they come out.
cheers.

=========================================================================
=========================================================================
I don't know who else has found the site yet but
there is an "alumni" site that is set up to do mailing
list management for members and there is already a
Glaydin section in place. Anne refereed it to me last
night and Ren mentions in the sidebar (Thanks). The site
looks to me like it can do the job and if you want to
sign up it is at:
www.planetalumni.com
On a purely personal note (which means you can ignore this
because I am very good at getting both my feet in my mouth
and offending people I have absolutly no desire to offend)
site's that *request* even the most superficial personal
information kind'a rub me the wrong way. That they *require*
gender is just that much more so. The information requested
is germane, yes -- It can be said to be there in the service
of the list participants. But I always wonder in who else's
service is this information going to used without my
knowledge or consent. Maybe I have been wired too long and
am over sensitized to online privacy issues, but it is a pet
principal issue for me. Optimum would be to provide a place
to *submit* personal information as one felt apropriate and
with a clear disclaimer regarding privacy issues in evidence.
Anyway, it is good to know that the service planetalumni
offers is there and if it works, it works. And, because
I'd not seen it before, I thought perhaps you too might not
have seen it and would like to know about it.
=========================================================================
=========================================================================
=========================================================================
If I put something in here you want me to take out, I will, right away,
just say the word. I'll not put personal snailmail address or phone
numbers in here because if someone is here, their email address is valid.
(It's an online privicy thing, just can't help myself) On the other hand,
when Ren and Ms. Baker get their snailmail list togeather I will be happy
to post it, with an ear open for anyone's objection.
If you use a search engine that can't find Glaydin, let me know. While
it is a pain to get indexed sometimes (hotbot took something like 6
months) it may help other people find this site.
Feedback, Flames ? I am all eyes-n-ears.
Oh, and I did fix several broken links. Ren caught one of my typo's and
I went looking -- there were more than a few. If you see others, bug me!

Hey Morgan !!
To answer Anne's question:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
-----------
And, Anne asks:
Do you -- or anyone -- have access to any kind of mailing list for
Glaydin alumni? Seems like the best way to get Ren and Glaydin some
help would be to do it as a group. Perhaps we could arrange an alumni
weekend?
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
-----------
The answer is Yes,
Louise Baker, George Baker's Wife, is putting together a mailing
list at the present time. Of course she doesn't have e-mail addresses so
the initial mailing will have to be by "snail mail".
George says that she has about 150 current addresses and with the
popularity of e-mail I would guess that at least 50+% have it.
You wouldn't believe George, who is in his 80's. That guy is as
active as a 40 year old.
I call him "Tractor Man" because he loves to mow the place with that
old tractor, which I am working on in the shop at the present time. That
thing is a antique, but he loves it. All he has talked about this winter
is getting it fixed so he can mow this spring. He burns a clutch out
every summer. He and Louise are a pair of "Nuts", one is as bad as the
other.
I will POST the list on the "Glaydin Page" as soon as Louise gives
it to me and as my time allows, but it shouldn't be long.
It is beautiful here at Glaydin this spring and George says that the
tree that he planted, in commemoration of his daughter's death, is more
beautiful and has more blossoms than he has ever seen.
The West windows from my place (what used to be the library)
overlooks the lake and it is really "COOL" to sit here at the computer
and watch the deer and water fowl messing around down there.
I think an "Alumni Weekend" would be really great and it would
really be a blessing to George and Louise. They are always talking about
you "guys" and showing me the old yearbooks.
I will answer Peggy Sligh's letter next and forward a copy to you guys.
It looks as though I have opened a can of worms.

Thank you for answering my question about whether or not Glaydin still
stands.
Is the place still a residential treatment facility for kids, as it was
when
I was there? If not, what is the school doing? Also, it would be
interesting to know whether or not they still have the records of people
that were there from 1983 to 1985. I have had several others get in

with me to see if they can get their records as well.
Also, your e-mail id suggests that you are a ham. Is this the case? I

Morgan must have made a typo when he posted it
I highlighted and copied the address directly from your e-mail, pasted
it directly into my browser address bar and then hit enter.
There is a site there but nothing I could find about Glaydin either.
I'll have to check that site out sometime to see what it is.
I checked you out at: http://www.planetalumni.com/group.asp?gid=5235
and found you are living in Manassas Va. Not too far from here.
That is a really sophictaded Glaydin site. I wonder if Morgan knows
about it.
Anyway he will now because I'm cc'ing to him.
I lived in Manassas in the early 90's and was assistant manager of the
building material department at Hechinger's store #24 there on Sudly Rd.
I was living at: 9001B Yorkshire Lane In Manassas Park at the time.
I left there and moved to Baltimore in December 1992, but in reality this
is my home territory. I was born a little over a mile from here, in
Taylorstown, in 1942 and lived there for 49 years before moving to
Manassas in 1990.
I never thought I would be living here at Glaydin, altho I was always
fasinated by the place. I drove by here many days on my way to work in
the DC area.
I am going to write up a full description of "Glaydin Today" and post it
as soon as I get the chance.
George Baker has been down with a bad cold for the past two days but is
getting better.
