THE WOOS ENCOUNTER: As you may know - my geriatric brain recently confused the 
Here is the story. I knew Mike was in Knoxville, and got his professional address on the internet (he’s a doc’) - and I tried calling his office. I spoke to his receptionist, I even gave assurances I was just an old college friend / fraternity bro’, and was not soliciting money. No luck, no call back.
So, I sent him a letter, beseeching him to give me his e-mail address. It was the "painless" version of the letter, complete with a self-addressed-stamped-envelope enclosed: all you do is write your e-mail address in the blank, and mail it back.
Jam-bo! 
Now, Mike is a doctor, right? And doctor-types are often penmanship-challenged, right? I could make out 8 of the 9 characters. In other words, Mike’s hand-writing sucks.
So, I telephoned his office, and talked again to his kind assistant. I explained to her the same tripe, i.e., ‘just an old college friend / fraternity bro’, etc.," and could she please just verify the e-mail address he sent me? She cautiously responded "that (e-mail) is one I don’t know, and he’s "with a patient" - I’ll talk to him - when I can slip in - and call you back?"
For the annals, the only professional-type Tick-a-lor more difficult to reach was 
BETA PI BLOG WELCOMES MIKE GLOVER! miles8526@aol.com
Senior year (‘74/’75) Mike was Worthy Master, and a great guy. I also remember Mike was somewhat of a nebuloid - something of a mystery, a cautious fellow.

I don't mean to get too technical with you, Your Bozoness, but actually, the proper spelling is "Jiambo!" (origin unknown). I am confident that you would appreciate the constructive correction.

TED STEPHANY M.I.A. - REPORT BY D.R. FLOWER, March 5, 2008:
"Larry,
I have left a few messages on the phone number that you gave me, but no response. The message is a robot and so there is no way to confirm that he even got the messages. I will try again periodically, but if Ted does not want to be found, he will likely be successful. Do you have any contact info on Hill Turner? I believe that Landry told me that he had a “Fifi” sighting a few years back. He is a southern Fla. boy and may have a scent on the elusive Teddy Bare!
