  1. Thanks for visiting my blog, Oupa Pete! Yes, my story was indeed about Ray Wheaton. Someday I will have to write a post on my blog about how desperately I wanted to play in the Sr. Band at U.N. I could handle the music, but my gender was a problem.

    When I ran into Ray on that platform a few years later, his first comment was, "We've women in the band now!" Too late for me.

    They did allow me to practice with them and I had a great time. I loved every minute of my time in London. Give my regards to Lee and any others who might remember me.

    Perhaps you met my older brother, Major David Gorton. He was just at ICO in the Jan. 2010 session.

    Thanks for providing me with the UN band blog addy! I will enjoy seeing photos of the band and that lovely sanctuary there at UN.
