      5220, not high tech. Do not know if this conversation is private. Your confirmation of story about Mike Archer and Ben Hill is not true. I was there and envolved with all matters relating to acting Pres. and football coach. If you want real story, please contact me on secure line.

      Franz, read this morning that Don Rutledge was an old friend of yours. He is one of my dads old golf partners. Dad was on football scholarship for the gators in '65 but hurt his shoulder pretty bad and had to hang them up. I played baseball at Fl. in 86 and 87 . Don was a great guy and great ref. If you see him ,tell him John Woodward Jr. said hello!!

      Sitting in a B & B on the outskirts of San Jose looking out at the city lights. Of course I am reading Gator Country. I will have a cold one for you. Do you know where the Men's golf team is playing there regional?

      Franz,
      It's Chris Marcum from Sherman Hills Golf Club. I spoke with you previously about having a Golf tournament to raise money for Gatorcountry.com. I was hoping to maybe host the tournament to coincide with you caravan stop in Brooksville. I have aslo spoken with Mr. Bob Pepe of the Hampton Inn about maybe hosting a mixer after the tournament. The Hampton Inn is located less than 2 miles from our course and right next to I-75. Depending on what day you are planning the caravan stop I figure based on 100 players at $30.00 per player including food you could raise about $1300.00. If your interested please call me at 352 807-0519.

      Thanks,

      Chris Marcum

      Franz; Dan told me you were preparing an article about the sordid Richardson deception in Pahokee.

      Please go to the thread you began "Meanwhile back in Pahokee" and read the comments on page four and five from Gator Dan (Igotanski) and my own posts, and try to address some of these ethical and moral concerns.

      Was just wondering if there was any other news coming out of the whole Pahokee incident, and I appreciate all the work you and the guys do for bringing us the best Gator news out there.

      Mr. Beard,
      My name is Chris Marcum and i am General Manager at Sherman Hills Golf Club in Brooksville, FL. Now that the rush for recruiting has passed I was wondering if Gatorcountry would be intrested in putting on a golf tournament sometime after May 15th. Might be a nice time for the guys to get together maybe have a few ex-Gators come through and possibly earn some money for a scholarship endowment sponsered by Gatorcountry. If you think there might be intrested please feel free to contact me by e-mail cmarcgolfer@aol.com or 352 807-0519.

      Thanks,

      Chris Marcum

      Franz I played baseball at Fl. in the 80's,and still bring my brainwashed brood to at least 3 games a year in Gville via myrtle Beach S.C.. I have to say your work of art with the typewriter keeps me renewing my membership here. It is poignant,straight to the point but most importantly brings the human element of sport crashing to the forefront of every piece. Keep up the magic , you are undoubtadly the cream of the proverbial crop. Many many thanks!
