you had on the churches in Poland, and that wonderful service in the home

This is our only regular occasion when all three branches of the Restora

I'm sure that once your decision is made and contacts begun in New
Zealand, that there will be many opportunities for you to serve in
churches down there, and in homes for the handicapped, hospitals, and
other institutions. You have so many contacts in this country that I am

certain once the word gets out that you will be coming "down under,"
invitations will come from numerous sources.

So, you have a double reason -- the convention,

and these other

opportunities -- for saying "Yes" to this invitation.

Your response

"If the Lord permit, I will go."

Remember the good you accomplished in Poland, and the joy of those
faces over there.

And think about what you will be able to do

NOTEBOOK
MAY 1988

"Be sure to save the date. . . in 19881"

These words were spoken

to us four years ago as we returned from the mission tour to Austria,

Poland, and Germany. Rod Huron, our dear friend and tour leader,
was the one who was planting the seed in our minds.
It lay dormant
for three years, but it appears it is time for cultivation and
blooming.

(Shall we call it a quad-ual?)

Rod's next overseas tour was scheduled to Auckland, New Zealand, in

connection with the World Convention of Churches of Christ and

Christian Churches.

Rod's letter seen elsewhere, explains the purpose

As 1988 unfolded. Rod reminded us of this opportunity of service.

It was not something we had pushed aside since 1984, but the future

1988 had seemed so very far away.

Suddenly, it was NOW.

If we were

going, plans had to get underway 1

We prayed and talked at length about i t and with Tim and had no
reservations whatsoever about the opportunities that we would have.

We would be thrilled and blessed by the convention, and the thought

of Tim sharing his marvelous gift with so many thousands of people
from all over the world made us tingle with excitement 1 In addition
to the convention, there would be many other performances; interviews
with parents, doctors and others of the medical profession, people
with various handicaps themselves; as well as media opportunities.
We would meet educators, social workers, government officials, and
those involved in care of this special population.
We would stress
Christian education for these people.
Tim was

excited

from

the moment we

asked him about

it.

As

seasoned

traveler, he got along perfectly in Europe, even though iced tea was
HARD to come by.
Of course, he wanted to know for SURE and asked,

"Are we going to go?"

We told him we had to pray about it more and

that it was a tremendous amount of money, and we felt we needed some

reassurance that i t was the Lord's will for us to go.
Tim reminded
us that the Lord has always given us just what was needed; however,
for another month we prayed.
We learned we would need a payment of
$250.00 to assure space.
We also needed to reserve airline tickets
to avoid $150.00 per person increase.
All this was before March 31st.

On March 19th a very dear friend, Wilma Roddy, passed away.

Her
family chose Tim as a recipient of memorial gifts in her honor.
"Aunt Wilma," as we called her, was one of the first to send a con
tribution and letter of encouragement when we went to Poland.

After

talking to her granddaughter, we felt sure this was the Lord's way
of saying, "GO."
We still felt overwhelmed with the $750.00 we had
to have

to

assure

the

air

fare.

On March 27th we had our annual concert at Community Christian Church

in Hemet, California, Gene Maples, minister.
As I gave an update on
our work, I told of different opportunities and asked for very earnest

prayers for a proposed trip to New Zealand and that we would make the

right decision.

I said nothing about money needed.

Can you imagine

the excitement and tears of joy when the treasurer told us the offering
was the largest for such an affair the church had ever had.

The amount

of the evening's income (offering and tape sales) was an astounding,

yes, COLOSSAL $720,001

Tim's words, "The Lord will give us what we

need when we need it!" made my head whirl.

Had the concert not been
scheduled on March 27th and the offering so generous, we would have
declined the opportunity.
There simply would have been no funds to
make the reservations.
As far as Tim is concerned, you are ALWAYS
and TOTALLY in God's care.
It takes no more faith to go to New Zealand

than it does to go to Disneyland.

He is always there and will always
provide.
In prayer that night Tim said simply, "Lord, give us what
we need to serve you in New Zealand." What a simple prayer.
covers everything!
Our Lord is not complex either.

It

Pertinent information:
Flight will leave L.A.X. on October 27th.
We return to the U.S. on November 8th.
As we go, there will be a
stop in Honolulu and returning, a stop on Fiji Islands.
Total cost
yet to be raised is $5,000.00.

At first, the thought of raising the money stood in the way of planning
what we might accomplish for our Lord. We have simply turned it over
to Him and His people
and

safe

and are praying and working for a successful

tour.

As you see from the beginning, I said EXTRA.

This is an extra special
Notebookl
It demands an extra measure of prayer, faith, and action
on the part of all of us.
Petite is, of course, just a little bit.
Well, this is just a little bit of a letter, isn't i t (at least for

me)? COLOSSAL reflects power - we shall reflect the power of God

through youl
COLOSSAL also suggests stupendous or incredible - how
aptly this depicts the opportunities I
COLOSSAL also means to an
astonishing degree.
I believe that God will astound us all with

the plans He has.

AUGUST 1988
In the quietness, before drifting off to sleep, so many
times a thought will invade my drowsiness. At first it is
in my subconscious state, but then it penetrates deeper,
and I am almost wide awake from the question, "I wonder
have I done my best for Jesus today?" I feel fairly safe
in saying maybe I did! But then as I rethink the day, by
His standards of total excellence and commitment I know

I fall far short even though a deep desire to meet His

precepts is ever present. So many times I hear people say,
"You are where you are because that is where God wants
you to be!' Of course, this allows us to blame all of our

failures and lack of self-discipline on our Lord. The

balance is we do need to allow the Lord to lead us and

have the judgement and wisdom that He will direct our

paths. Far too often His direction does not come forth
as quickly as we want, and we are not patient in waiting.
Oh, we find, and I am sure you do too, that serving Him
is a glorious experience but one that we find a learning
one. We learn from our mistakes and sincerely ask Him
to forgive us and just pray that, "Yes, Lord, I have done
my best for you, but I KNOW I can and will do better
with your help. Forgive my mistakes!" With that, sleep
comes easily.... "For it is for this we labor and strive,
because we have fixed our hope on the living God,
who is the Savior of all men, especially of believers!'
(2nd Timothy 4:10 N.S.V.)
1988 TAKES OFF WITH A BUSY GAIT
As I looked for our last newsletter to see where I needed

to pick up news, I was astounded we had written it

November 1987! All that needs to be covered in this will

be impossible, but Til do my best to highlight some of

the occurrences. We had our annual folding after the rush

Tim Baley and Steve Allen

May S, 1988

Benefit Jeffrey Foundation, Los Angeles, California

of the Christmas concerts, but in no time body and soul

were raring to go.
OUR EYES WERE IN FOR QUITE A SURPRISE!

There is so much that has happened that those of you

who do not get our regular monthly letter are unaware
of the continuation of Tim's progress in the Visual Arts.
If you recall, he has always drawn, but his pictures were
mostly trucks, busses, buildings and once in awhile a grand
piano. We praised him, as he did do well, but we did not
encourage him. We were just grateful he was developing
in piano, and that was far more than we had ever dreamed

would happen. You may recall the beginning came at

Christmas 1986. He received gifts from various friends
and family, and he knows a thank-you note is always a
must. In our conversation about writing them, I said,
"Tim, bring the note to me, and I'll write a note, too!'
I had forgotten to give him stationery, but shortly he
returned, laid the note on my desk, and said, "Here's the
note, Mom!' I looked at it and said, "Where'd you get that
beautiful stationery?" Then I saw his autograph! I called
to him and told him how beautiful it was, and I sure did
need Christmas cards. I asked if he could make us some.
He was all for that. I assumed all the cards would be one

design! Not so, each and every one he did was different.
He continued all through the holiday season, and soon
the Hi Hopes started selling them on their table. He
couldn't keep up with them. In the fall of 1987, we had
eight different cards printed, and various organizations
use them as fund raisers.

As time passed that year, more and more people said

he needs to enter art shows and contests; soon he was
doing large pictures. The Hi Hopes played at Pitzer

Claremont College was the beginning of many art shows

and contests. Dad and I have really run to keep abreast
of all the various opportunities for Tim. To date, he has

College (one of the five Claremont Colleges) in Claremont,

California. After the concert Tim enjoyed lunch with one
of the young professors, Dr. Steve Edelson. A few days
later he called asking if Tim would be available and have
paintings to exhibit for an art show and reception. This
was to be a showing of works of 'Savant' artists. I told

and honorable mention. Each exhibit or show is an exciting

him we had a concert but would gladly get Tim's work

to him. He said, "Oh, we will have the show whenever

Tim can come. You can't have a reception without the

artist!' So, February 10, 1988, was truly a debutTim's
very first art show. What a surprise! We shared this event

experience.

For many years we have been involved in Very Special

Arts (musically) but more recently in the visual arts, too.
Our California 'Very Special Arts' had a fund raiser, and
Tim was among the artists who were invited to exhibit.
It was held in Beverly Hills at the Hanson Gallery on
Rodeo Drive. This is a dream of a Hfetime for most artists

and was certainly an electrifying and encouraging

experience for Tim, as throngs of people viewed the aweinspiring works of all the artists. The Hanson Gallery, of
course, were hosts par excellence, and we commend them
for honoring these special artists!

Almost daily it seems new opportunities unfold, and

we step forward with each one. The invitation to hang his
work in the Fullerton Public Library from August 2-31
was another delight. This is done in a small auditorium.
The room also has a lovely grand piano in it, and the wall
space is reserved for hanging art. The lady who was
arranging for Tim's exhibit, suggested he also give a
concert. Of course, that pleased him, so a concert and
reception was set for Sunday, August 21, 1:30-4:00 p.m.,
with a concert at 2:30. Because the program is unique,
the library is doing the publicity. We have surely enjoyed
working with them. I know it will be another time that
fond memories will Hnger. We will place the book I wrote
in the library so that it will be available to the public.

What excitement for Tim! He loves Steve and has always

admired his piano artistry.

The time did drag, and seemed so far away.

But alas, it did come to pass...
There is so much to say about that day,
But, ril simply say, t'was GREAT in EVERY WAY!

Just the beauty of the dazzling and renowned Beverly

Hills Hotel, where it was held, was in itself magnificent;
but adding Tim's privilege to share in this joyous, momen
tous occasion left us with misty eyes as he finished his
performance. Tim's mind is full of prayer before he plays
no matter where he is. The Lord empowered him to do
well. His only part of uncertainty was when he gave Steve
a painting he had made him. He searched for words and
then said, "I don't really know what to say, Steve, but here
is a picture I painted for you, and I hope you like it. I'm
so glad I got to meet you and play for you!' There was

a standing ovation, resounding applause, and Tim blushed,

as Steve very graciously thanked him.
Early the next day the phone rang... "Mrs. Baley, I
hear your son was a smashing success last night. I want
to book him!" The young man speaking said it was for
a big benefit in L.A., and there would be many celebrities
on the show. The biggest name would be Elton John. I

the church convention, rather than this event, if there had
to be a choice, but the final decision was his. He was so
thrilled to be asked but said, "Oh, I hope I can play with

DESTINATION

We had waited for so longthen it was time for the North

American Christian Convention. We were excited, of

course, to go to the convention, but additionally we would

get to see mother. Our day of departure from L.A.X.

(early!), June 29th, was perfect, and we arrived in

Cleveland and journeyed to Canton, to my brother Clyde's
and wife Wanda's home. Mother had been transferred to
the Canton Christian Home. Her address is:

each time we go back. Travel to Columbus on Saturday
July 2, gave us a nice rest for July 3rd. Two church services
plus a BIG party with the class of mentally retarded at
the Beechwold Church of Christ, followed by a delightful
and relaxing lunch with minister Drury Benton and his
wife Mickie. Fairfield, Ohio, (near Cincinnati) was not a
pressing drive for the evening concert. It was great to return
to both of these churches. Meeting Fairfield's new minister
and wife, the David Cordrey's, and sharing fellowship with
Shirley and David Phillips makes this such a day of joy

Shortly thereafter it was time for Tim. I don't know

why, but the butterflies that I had in my stomach (Tim
didn't have any) suddenly were gone, as I prayed earlier,
"Lord, you directed and brought us here, and I know you'll
be with Him!' In a previous service we were blessed by
a powerful soio from a young man on crutches, and the

Next (July 4th) into Cincinnati and set up our booth

for the convention. The air was full of what seemed to

be pulsating, vibrant sensations as Christian friends, old

and new, greeted each other. Cherished LOVE was
EVERYWHERE for the next five days. Hugs, laughter,
reminiscence, sharing, caring, anticipation etc. It was non
stop talk, but all too brief was the time. Our workshop,
Friday afternoon, which we shared with Shirley (Mrs.
David) Phillips, was a rich experience for us!
The end of the convention had come all too quickly
(even though we were physically exhausted), and it was
the night for Tim to perform on the elegant Baldwin
concert grand. Every conceivable dimension of perfection
and detail had been planned and orchestrated to make this
the crowning service of the convention. Tim felt so
honored and humbled to be privileged to play. The massive
audience was sensitive to all phases of the program, and
he was spurred on by their vibrant response! The musi
cians so capably led us to His throne in singing and sent
goose bumps up our spines, ending with a lump in the
throat. Every participant on the program had perfectly
prepared us for the steps that we would follow through
the program. Soon we experienced the thrill of being taken

Mom, that's me, well she drags along. A never ending

aching back and much less blood than the body needs,
as well as a not so youthful bag of bones, keeps her

Hope to get to Palm Desert to Frank's (Scott) for Tim's

lesson the latter part of August. Tim's art and all the
performances make a full schedule, and it is difficult to
go when it is compatible with us and Frank.

YET TO COME

The fall is always a heavy time for performance. The

Hi Hopes are busy, and Tim's schedule is equally such;
thus up until Christmas there is little free time.

student tuition is kept low and does not
meet expenses. So we are privately
funded by many individuals each giving a
small donation; by service organizations,
grants from foundations and firms, sales

such a spectacular view and stately homes, on to Punch

downtown Honolulu, followed by Chinatown, the finan

sion, all such interesting sights. The lolani Palace, which

contains the only royal throne in the U.S., really captured
our eyes and closed the impressive tour. Everyone on their
own, so a bunch of us heard excellent reports on the
restaurant, "The Great Wok of China!' The delectable
food, cooked right at our table, was devoured by all, and
many (not me) braved using chopsticks. The fabulous

pleasing experience. Another blessingour dear friend
for years, Jessica Floyd, principal of Sunset Beach Chris

came. We had hoped Jessica could come. As I was talking
to Maria Haight, concert organizer, at a distance a

beautiful, familiar face appeared. My first thought was

Jessica, but Jessica appeared. She came closer.. .what a
wonderful surprise.. .here she was... MY COLLEGE
ROOMMATE in Phoenix, Arizona, Betty Canary. We did
settle down and have a concert. The wonderful Hawaiian

friendliness and graciousness surrounded us as did the

beautiful, traditional leis they placed around our necks.
The superb, grand piano and audience response to Tim's
concert inspired him, and he had a tremendous time. We
immediately felt a real friendship and shared mutual
efforts with all the Very Special Arts workers in Hawaii.
There wasn't much time, but we packed in a good visit
as we ate with Jessica, Betty, and the Clawsons. Adding
to the elation of being together was the magnificence of
the ocean before our eyes. How we thanked God for such
a wondrous day!
Back to the hotel to get our bags together. At 10:00 P.M.
the tour members all met in a hotel room to share in

worship and communion before embarking across the

Pacific. We would have not Sunday since we were to cross
the dateline. There was such JOY, JOY, JOY, JOY down
in our hearts. God's presence was so felt as we prayed,
sang, shared His word and communed together. 11:30 P.M.
all the bags and our bodies loaded on the bus and off
to the airport. Passport and ticket check followed for our

ON TO NEW ZEALAND

At 2:30 A.M. off on another lovely biggie. A tasty snack,

even at that time, was well received. Who wanted to sleep!
Air New Zealand surely must receive good marks, espe
cially in food service. Breakfast at 6:00 A.M. prepared us
well for our "NOW" MONDAY in Auckland, New
Zealand. I wasn't sure what meal I was eating, what time

it actually was, or what day it was, but there was no reason

to really care. I told Tim just eat when they feed you and
keep setting your watch, and everything will be fine (I
think). We were the last ones to go through customs and
found that Tim's art work presented a problem! They must
have thought it was stolen. Finally, we showed them his
concert brochure with his name and picture on it. All was
well. A new bus, which was absolutely elegantevery inch
carpeted, even window ledgesdelivered us to our hotel
in Auckland. We were greeted with cool, rainy weather
but such warm hospitality. Feelings of jet lag began to
engulf us, and bed sounded fine for Jerry and me but not
Tim. He wanted to see Auckland. Rain had stopped, so
we walked a bit, and then all folded. The day following
was free to recoup.
Practice is essential for Tim, so he and Dad got
acquainted with the piano he would be playing at the con
vention banquet, and then we prepared for an evening
concert. John Fulford, minister of the Mairangi Bay
Church of Christ in Auckland, graciously served as our

radiant, beautiful blast of sunshine and energy. We felt

like our families have been friends for always. Di, husband
Hugh, and children, Jenny, David and Andy, have given
their home and lives to witness and develop Christian
activities for the disabled. Di scheduled concerts after John

contacted her. The excitement of the concert was surely

felt as we greeted those who came, and it continued to
build throughout. Tim was so humbled by the response.
The convention began Wednesday evening, and the main
sessions were held in the stately, picturesque town hall of
Auckland. Certainly makes you think of the turn of the
century. I expected to see President Lincoln walking
around! The convention was good for the soul, but a
dimension of physical fitness was added. How amazed
we were to find almost 45 degree angle hills. (Actually they
were itty-bitty mountains that drifted over from Colorado.)
You couldn't get from the hotel to the town hall without
getting your workout. And it WAS a workout! By the time
we left, everyone was getting in good shape. The opening
session begin with a welcome to Auckland by the local
Maori people in their costumes. Singing, special music
and preaching made this and each session of the
convention inspirational throughout.
Thursday at 8:15 A.M. Di came for us and took us to
Westlake Boys High School, where we were graciously met
and escorted by the principal, Mr. CoUn Pascoe, to his
office. Couldn't believe this was a public school since it

was ALL boys. What a fine looking bunch of chaps! We

truly appreciated their manners and respect which were
impeccable, as was their grooming and dress, each so neat
in school attire. They do not have student lockers there,
but neatly placed on the patio was each student's
backpack. The boys must have a secret to know which
one is theirs. There were about 400 boys, and I assume
as many backpacks. They showered Tim with such care
and an overwhelming response.
The slide presentation and Tim's art was of great in
terest, and we enjoyed a time of discussion afterward.
Their courtesy continued as they carried our things and
saw us to our car. Certainly Mr. Pascoe and faculty are
to be commended for such fine boys. Di's husband, Hugh,
is part of this faculty
We scurried on to the next concert and arrived ON

TIME at Thkapuna Normsil Intermediate (co-educational)

School. We were greeted by the deputy principal, charming
Mr. Pete Morely, and in short order we were in his office
and almost as quickly thereafter, with everyone's help, we
were ready for the concert when 500 beautiful young
people filed in. Again, marmers and appreciation radiated.
They placed the piano upon a large platform in front of
the stage, and we placed the art work on each side of the
piano across the stage. The screen for the slides was to
the right. The students were more than a little enthusiastic,
and the concert moved right along.
After it was over, the principal asked Jerry and me to
join Tim on the platform where he had placed a threeseated bench. He told us they in turn had something they
wanted to give us and for us to please be seated. The music
teacher came to the piano, the principal motioned for the
children to rise, and they did, in perfect unison. The
downbeat, introduction, and then the children started to
sing. It seemed like we had been transcended into a tran
quil and perfect world as their melodic voices sang OH
SO BEAUTIFULLY, "The Rosd' The completed, flawless
rendition left each of us in awe and moved to tears. We

had loved this song, but now it has a meaning and memory
never to be erased from our hearts and minds. I can only

say, "Thank you, Tkkapuna School, from the bottom of

our hearts!"

As we finished, we hurriedly began collecting our things

for still another concert. Mr. Morely said, "We have tea
prepared for you!' I told him we were scheduled in just
a little bit for another concert. He insisted, so I told him
to speak to Di. Mr. Morely ended up calling the other
school. We found our way to the faculty lounge. There
awaiting us were all the faculty and plates of goodies and
lots of hot tea, coffee, and ICE TEA for Tim. Now he
thought that was absolutely the greatest! Sad

anywhere, and though many could not express verbally

or physically their feelings, their eyes told it all. The staff
was so warm and friendly and assured us they were
encouraged.

When we were again loaded into Di's car, we had time

to sneak in some site-seeing on our way back to our hotel.
We had missed the tours scheduled by the group, but
certainly we had NO regrets. We wound our way through
beautiful Cornwall Park and to the top of "ONE TREE
HILL!' ONLY one tree on top of the hill! We were told
the hill was another dormant volcano with many craters
all around it. I think that hill has to be another misplaced
Colorado mountain. So STEEP, and smack in the busy
city of Auckland! What a scene as our eyes beheld
beautiful sheep gra2dng everywhere on the lush green grass.
We gazed upon the beautiful Pohutakawa trees,
transplanted in New Zealand from England, drove around
miles of beautiful harbor, observed the Queen's Square,
and ended up at our hotel ready for lunch.
A bit of a rest was helpful before Hugh came for us
and took us to their home for tea, followed by a delicious
New Zealand dinner. What food... surpassed only by the
company! Besides Di, Hugh, Jenny, David, and Andy, two
lovely young ladies, Jacqui Parker and Nikki Stanfield,
from the Christian Foundation for the Disabled were there,

all helping Di with the meal. In addition Peter Evans with

Radio Rhema and Neville Logan, cartoonist, came for
dinner and to do a radio interview for a children's program

to be made by Jenny and Tim. She sought answers to her

questions from Tim. Following this they recorded a
generous amount of music. Peter and Neville aren't
doctors, but they had us in stitches.
We were a tad late for the beginning of the convention

that evening but arrived in time to be lifted and inspired

by Rod Huron's well prepared and executed and thought
provoking message, as we listened with pride. What a fun
and blessed day! We were, however, very ready for bed,
but a time of physical food was important. Rod and
Autumn Huron, our friend Bill Moody, and all of us took
advantage of a nearby McDonald's. As we walked in, a
man at a table of young people called to me and Tim.
"Aren't you the boy who plays the piano?" Tim said he
was. They said they were coming to the concert on Satur
day, (and they did); his mother had been to one. We don't
know how they knew him. A story was in the newspaper,
but there was not a picture.
HOW COULD THEY?

Another practice session on the hotel grand. Devastation

set in. Someone had severely damaged the magnificent
piano the night before. Stickiness over the keyboard area,

Tim it would be fixed by evening when he was to play for

the Bi-Centennial Birthday Celebration Banquet of

Alexander Campbell. He kept his word! Tim will never

understand HOW ANYONE COULD do that to a piano.
I don't think if someone hit him he would have felt worse.

The banquet was truly lovely, and Tim settled down after
he saw the piano was A-OK. His attack of force was only
on the keyboard, but it was dealt in measures of tenderness
and certainly love for the beautiful instrument he caressed.
Certainly the audience responded to the love he expressed.
Our final concert was held in Green Lane Christian

Fellowship on Saturday afternoon. Again such a won

derful crowd. It was simply more of the same response
as we had had. Tim will remember and cherish being able
to play on the beautiful and unique piano they had. Many
in the audience related with Tim, knowing so well the path
of climbing the mountain. How difficult it can be, but
knowing too that ALL things are possible within the scope

HOMEWARD BOUND

The final service of the convention closed with a deep

sense of worship and devotion. Dr. John Oglivie, minister
of the First Presbyterian Church, Hollywood, California,
brought the stirring message that led to the focal point
a mass communion servicefor which he had prepared
our hearts. Then after his message we knelt, prayed and
sang. Each person took as a souvenir his communion cup,
handmade by Mrs. Lyndsay A. Jacobs, the convention
president's wife. In closing we linked arms at the elbows
and sang, 'Wow Is the Hour" And truly it was.. .time
to be on our way home, taking with us JOY, JOY, JOY,
JOY down in our hearts.

of HIS will... .Another radio interview followed and also

a discussion with a lady asking if they could put my book

on tape in New Zealand for the blind. Of course, I was

thrilled.. .and soon all the crowd had gone. There in the
quietness of the aftermath of the exhilarating afternoon,
Di, Hugh, and others who remained shared tea with us,
and we found we were suddenly overwhelmed by having
to say good-bye to this beautiful country and our priceless,
beloved, new friends. I wondered HOW such love can
permeate in such short time? I knew ONLY through the
Love of God
As we arrived back at the hotel, we said
our good-byes to Di and Hugh, vowing to see each other

either there or here if it is again His will. We felt such

emptiness as we packed our bags to leave the next day.
There were rain and cool temperatures outside, but
nevertheless we had a JOY, JOY, JOY, JOY down in our

hearts!

Winging our way homeward on the B-747 (200 series)

was broken up with a stop and sort of R and R, too. In
two hours and 30 minutes we landed at Nadi of the

beautiful Fiji Islands. Greeted with "BULA" we soon

learned this expression of welcome was for real, as these
captivating, native people pampered us! The lush, tropical
surroundings, right on the beach where we stayed, seemed
like paradise itself. A trip into the village revealed much
of their culture, which was enhanced later by a buffet and
the "MEKE", which is a performance of traditional native
music and dance. Tim was captured with the singing and
music, and Jerry is now sharing it with the students at
the college. A short cruise to Mana Island Resort allowed

us to see the beautiful water and islands, but it was more

than a bit rocky. We walked the beach, and I was able
to see my first "BABY OCTUPUS!' I could have lived a
lifetime without that however. After they served us a lovely
beachside lunch, a bit of .elaxation followed, and then
we "rocked" back to Nadi. The crew on the ship were such
fun and entertained us singing and playing the guitar. We
cracked up when they broke out with "I've Been Workin'
on the Railroad." I got up to go to the back of the ship.

The girl wanted to sing with Tim so badly, but the keyboard
man still said no. Had the BIG Boss known, I am sure

she could have! As Tim played, people were running in

and around from all over and taking pictures (I didn't have
my camera!), as word about him traveled via the grapevine
to most of the hotel guests! Wewere able to tell many about
our work even though the time was short. When his mini
concert was over, the band showered Tim with their care,
all EXCEPT the keyboard man. Of course, our tour group
was there in full force cheering Tim on....
At 12:45 A.M. we piled into the bus heading for the air

and just as I did, it took a real plunge. One of the fellas

yelled out, "Hey, don't rock the boat!" Can't say any of
us weren't glad to get back to shore.

That evening we were awaiting our time to leave. Tim

said a friend he had met wanted to see me. In a very short
time he had become friends with ALL the musicians at

the hotel, and most were so very, very nice to him. She
was a lovely, young lady who sang at the resort in the
lounge. I finally got things taken care of in preparation

to play, and she could sing. I said well sure if they wanted
him to. She asked me to ask her boss! I said I couldn't

were back to Tuesday again! Weariness had allowed sleep,
and as I awoke, the sun was breaking and the heavens were
ablaze with brilliant sunlight. What peace there was! A brief

stop in Honolulu and before us the final stretch of the trip.

L.A. greeted us with beautiful weather (7:30 P.M.). Bag

didn't have to open a bag, except Tim's art work. The man

Sorry they pushed "Winnie", the NBC Movie of the

of November as they had said. We have been glad to get

calls and lots of mail from all over, however, from people
who did get to see it. Meredith Baxter-Birney, who played
Winnie, was exceptional, and I am sure will get an award.
(Watch to see if thereis a repeat.).
Prints of Tim's art work will become available in the

near future. For those who are interested, let us know, and
information will be sent. There is an art representative who
called and wants to work with us. He has a number of

one-man shows lined up. More on all this at a later date.
