I think that they went onto a pretty much permanent sabbatical around 1998 because Harriet Wheeler and David Gavurin got married and started a family. I think they are just doing the family raising thing.Carolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17068889968857575433noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1533372025110910037.post-16232252083257038362008-04-05T10:39:00.000+01:002008-04-05T10:39:00.000+01:00Thanks for this, CB.
