This is the message as the crawl holds it, before anything here touched it. What the conversation shows has been through ingest: transfer encodings decoded, attachments dropped, quote markers repaired, and the archiver’s ? resolved into quotation marks and dashes. Those repairs are judgements and some of them are wrong, which is what this page is for. Email addresses are obscured here as they are everywhere else on the site, so it is before our repairs rather than byte for byte.

Roy quotes and writes:

><<What a day that was for President Den: Bill Batton with his clockwork
>orange, er, clockwork elephant; Eleanor Bold with her rather ominous
>request to plant a tree on his grave ("I'm not dead, I feel better--much
>better!"); and dinner with dog man Charles Turner!>>
>
><<Difficult to date this day, other than to say that Den is President (safe

>few years of his Presidency, or say a dozen years in?>>
>
>Den said that he started to tell the Tilly Tale to Bill Batton "thirty-five

And two items from Roy's EZ Timeline:

>1954-1959 Time frame for the Lois/Gold affair. Den age 40-45. Sherry Gold =
is
>16. Lois is close to 35.

>1963 circa, Den becomes president of the company at about 49. Crazy Pete on

Ah, a coup!  Teenage Doris is neither Sherry (who would be 20-25 in 1963),
nor Sherry's hypothetical daughter (she would be too young; 3-8?); the
Doris mystery deepens!
