[Squaredancing] Border problems

[Loren Castro]

This has been a fascinating--and confusing--story.  Please excuse this 
ignorant Californian and answer a couple of questions:

Who was held up at the border?
     Tim Crawford
     Tom Miller

What border was he held up at?
     Canada
     Mexico
     New Jersey

Thank you,
