Last week, a friend's mother, who lives in Tulsa, got this number
as a place to call about Yoga lessons.  After hearing the recording
she called her daughter here at the B-School and told her to call,
thus we got the word.

It was an answering machine with a male voice that said:  "Hello, you
have reached the Branch Davidian center of Tulsa, Oklahoma.  We're
currently on a retreat with Brother Koresh in Waco, Texas, but if all
goes well, we'll be back by the end of February, beginning of March.
We'd love to serve you, so please leave a message after the beep.
Thank you."

I don't think all went well.

So that's the story, so sorry that you didn't get to hear it
yourself.  I gave the number to a lobbyist friend in D.C., who
spread it around Capitol Hill, so I think we overloaded the poor
answering machine.    -    Tory
