<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> In regard to
last weekend's debacle with Tim Crawford, Tom Miller was scheduled to
call for us at Mt. Nittany Squares on Sunday. I got a call from him
Saturday late afternoon asking to be relieved of that obligation if he could get
a substitute caller for us. Whaddaya gonna say when some club is in dire straits
with 400 reservations for an anniversary dance and the caller is held up at the
border? Tom was able to get a caller for us, Jeff Bobst, and our dance proceeded
as scheduled. Needless to say, a lot of our folk were disapointed to miss Tom,
but we had a great time with Jeff. This is about the third or fourth time in the
last year Tom has cancelled out on us, leading to much scrambling on our part.
Jeff Bobst has filled in many times for him and deserves much praise for his
willingness to adjust his schedule. Our club schedules Jeff about once a month
throughout the year for Adv and C1 calling; we find his personality great and
his calling outstanding. Tom is also scheduled in about once a month; we've
known him since he was a beginning caller 20+ years ago and it's been a pleasure
watching him develop his calling skills. I don't know the outcome of Tim's
troubles, not having heard any news about the situation. I hope it was
successfully resolved as he comes across the border frequently according to the
flyers I see at dances. He's been in our area of central PA for many special
dances.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=905390501-01052005><FONT face=Arial size=2>Has anyone heard
anything about the issues Tim Crawford had crossing the border last
week. Apparently he was stopped entering the US and his car and calling
equipment were confiscated. I heard the issue was lack of a work
permit. </FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=905390501-01052005><FONT face=Arial size=2>I don't have any
more details on the problems. He was scheduled to call in Rochester, NY,
and someone else had to step into his place at the last minute. I was
hoping someone on this list could shed some more light on the
issue. </FONT></SPAN></DIV>
