Clarification of Answer by bobbie7-ga on 16 Feb 2003 17:32 PST

Hello again,
I sent out a couple of e-mail inquiries to the Harvard Tournament.
When they respond I'll post the information here.
Thanks
--Bobbie7-ga

bobbie7 is a terrific researcher.  sure am glad always to have this
one working for me.

not everyone from the debate team travelled to harvard, according to
my uncle.  so what i'm wondering is who did?  i had all that info from
the school already, as well as some info from harvard, but they didn't
list who did come up here.
would like to know.  i'm going to leave a tip for your work when this
is done, even if you don't get the info.

i recognize at least three family names, which is great.  but i don't
see the nixon name, and thought i would.

thank you, bobbie7.  you're on top of things, i can see that.  if
harvard doesn't want to give you the info, and i can see why they may
be reluctant, we'll just close it, and i will authorize a tip.

Hello Absarka,

It’s nice to see you again although I must say that I am puzzled.  Are
you groundhog05301-ga as well or is that your uncle?

I have not received an answer from Harvard yet but I hope to receive a
reply from them tomorrow morning. As you said they may be reluctant to
release that kind of information.

I will check their website again and see what else I can dig up.
 
Thank you for your patience.

Best Regards,
Bobbie7

yes, i am both absarka and groundhog.  i am having trouble with the
groundhog sign in tho', so you can also email me at absarka@attbi.com

and it's good to see you again, too.

i tried to get some harvard invitational info earlier in the season,
but apparently was considered risky.  i gave up.  but then when i saw
that both durant and many texas schools were going, i really wanted to
see if i knew anyone.  maybe won't get far.

i also graduated high school from plano, texas, which is not far from
durant, where i later lived.  but i already have info about who's from
there.  just figured i'd add that.  not worth anything probably.

let me know when this is closed, please bobbie, so that i may see that
you are appropriately tipped.

thanks.

Good Morning Absarka,

Unfortunately I have not received a response from the Harvard
Tournament Organization so I guess we should consider the question
closed. I wish I could have helped you more.

Kindest Regards,
Bobbie7

no sweat, barbie.  i know you did your best.

besides, the snowstorm here in mass. will probably keep me from
getting in touch anyway.

now i need to know how to pay and tip you.  i've forgotten.

thank you so much.  your rating will be high.

absarka

i'm having problems, bobbie.  although i try to find my groundhog05301
account under which this question is listed, google will not let me do
that.  the program tells me that there is no such email address. 
which is wrong.
please tell me what to do so i may tip you and rate you (5 stars of
course).

Dear Absarka,
Thank you for the five star rating, fine comment and very generous
tip! It was a pleasure to work with you.
Sincerely,
Bobbie7

i want to edit my comments to remove my email address.  all i get from
you for elp is how to add a comment.  i want to remove the absarka
address from the comment that contains it.  tell me what to do, or do
it yourself please.

Dear Absarka,

In order to have your e-mail address removed, please send a note with
your requirement to the editors of Google Answers at the following
address:

answers-editors@google.com

They will take care of your request.

Best Regards,
Bobbie7

Dear Absarka,
I sent an e-mail to the editors as well.
