Thanks to those who have encouraged me to complete the presentation of this series. I do not usually acknowledge e-mails, instead using my time to write. I have appreciated hearing from you. LJB To Fulfill a Prophesy Section 56 It is the celebration of the 25th birthday of the fourth Guardian. Sixteen and a half years have passed since Prophesy has been fulfilled. On this occasion, I choose to document the status of each of the participants who were involved with the family during that remarkable time and a little of what has happened to them. For order and form, I will go by age, commencing with the eldest. Mr. Lo Sing Chen Mr. Chen is now 95 years of age. At age 85 years he retired as the Head of Household at the `castle', but continued to monitor the lives of his `family' in part by maintaining his post at the Dining Room buffet for dinner every night until he was 93. At that time he suffered a moderate stroke. The Guardians intervened and despite his argument of being unworthy of their attention, they restored him by shifting his body some 30 years. He continues to live in the main residence with Dean and Ted and is instrumental in the care and maintenance of their household. His new life and vitality has prepared him to live fully to his new potential of 120 plus years. Denny never has yet discover he use to hide the bananas on Saturday mornings. Mrs. Lily (Tayor) Johnson Lily (of unspecified age) did in fact date the gentleman who worked in the gardens at the estate. He turned out to be Jim Johnson, the grounds Supervisor. They courted for about two years and then were married with the enthusiastic approval of all her children. When Mr. Chen retired, Mrs. Johnson was asked to take over as Head of Household and Lily, Jim and Gus moved into residence on the estate in one of the separate homes which had been built on the cul-de-sac. With Mr. Chen's occasional sage guidance she took control of the household and it continued to run effectively and efficiently. She and Jim will celebrate their 15th Wedding Anniversary this year and are as happy now as the day they wed. Mr. Edward (Ted) Robert Tanner Ted is now 56 years old. He and Dean reside in their home which is the main house on the cul-de-sac of the estate. Over the years, as their boys moved on and out they took in new children in need of their care and love. Their house has forever been filled with the voices and laughter of growing boys. Ted retired as Chief of Security six years ago, but remains on the Board of Directors of McAdams, Tanner a management firm which he and Dean formed to run the McAdams conglomerate. His time is now dedicated to their continuing family and he still remains involved in supporting Dean's continuing business growth. Mr. Benton Dean Hillsborough McAdams III Dean is 51 years of age. He became President of McAdams, Tanner some 10 years ago and actively directs the operations of the McAdams empire through his vice-presidents, making certain he has the majority of his time to spend with his family and his partner. He and Ted are totally dedicated to each other and to their extended family and spend most of their time with the boys in their house and with frequent baby sitting. Mrs. Debra Fullard (McAdams) Stinson After her divorce from Eduardo became final, Debra lived her own life for five years. She became active in volunteer work in her community and helped to organized Day Care centres for working mothers. With encouragement from Jamie and Davey, she applied to adopt two young siblings, a girl and a boy, aged 3 and 5 who the Guardians had identified as needing her. They are now her pride and joy, both demonstrating academic superiority in all their school work and dedicated to their Mom and Dad. Five years ago, Debra married her fifth husband after a lengthy courtship. She discovered he was the first man she loved more than Dean. He is a retired millionaire from Texas, whose six adult children welcomed her as much as all her family welcomed him. His children collectively presented her with 15 grandchildren and each of them think their Grandmum is the greatest thing since cereal became sugar coated. She feels the same about them. Mr. "Digger" Walter Malcolm Bailey Digger is now 46. His relationship with Anson did not last. After four years they separated and Digger requested re-assignment. They remain friends and their break up was mutually accepted. Digger was transferred to fraud investigations. He has gone through a series of short term relationships, but has never been able to settle with one partner. He visits the estate regularly and everyone is always happy to see him. Ted and Jamie remain his closest friends. Mr. Dale Milton Savage Dale is 43 years old. He replaced Ted as Chief of Security at McAdams Corp. when Ted retired. Most of his work is done from the `castle' where Ted moved Security Central a number of years ago, leaving him on the estate most of the time. Fifteen years ago, he and Jason adopted a pair of identical twins who were two years old. The boys, under Tim's tutelage have developed into superior students and like their Dads are exceptional athletes. Ten years ago, they adopted a five year old boy who has grown into a remarkably fine young man of 15. He is currently winning science fairs in the senior division and is headed to the national competitions. Dale still wears around his neck the silver chain which Jason gave him with the bullet that killed him attached. Jason picked it up that day from the stage and gave it to Dale as a reminder he only has the one life he is living left. Mr. Jason Lyle Lawrence Jason is 43 years old. Jason has become a `house husband'. Shortly after the twins arrived, he semi-retired and stayed at home to raise the boys. This met with Dale's full approval and the two of them shared care and supervision of their prodigy. Jason was asked to sit on the Board of Directors of McAdams Corp. and has been a contributing member for 15 years. They both are totally devoted to their family, near and extended and their counsel is sought regularly by members of all the sub-families. They live on the cul-de- sac on the estate. Dr. Timothy "Tim" Alfred Wright, Ph. D. Tim is 42. He and Kevin remain as partners. In spite of the amount of work he had here on the estate, Tim went back to school and eventually earned a Doctorate of Special Education. He is now a full Professor at our University and a Consultant to the National Education Association. He also continues to work with the children here on the estate. Eight years ago, he and Kevin adopted a little boy, who was 4 years old. Two years later they adopted a second boy who was also 4. They live in one of the smaller residential homes on the cul-de-sac. Their entire family is very happy and they spend a great deal of time at the big house. Mr. Anson William Tyler Anson is 38 years old. After his relationship with Digger ended, Anson remained uncommitted for a couple years. Through Tim, who was back to school at the time, he met a man two years his senior named Marcus. After a courtship which was carefully monitored by Dale for over a year, they committed to each other and two years later adopted a five year old boy who had been badly abused. He took a lot of care and work and Marcus, a Teacher, stayed home for three years to guide the boy through his adjustments. Ted and Lily became very involved as well. Today, their twelve year old son and his two younger brothers live a happy life with their Dads on the cul-de-sac. Anson accepted the position of Sr. Security Officer (Captain) when Dale was promoted and now co-ordinates all security for the estate and for the Guardians. Mr. Brian Thomas Taylor Brian is 37 years old. He and Davey remain totally committed to each other. Brian is still a member of the central security team having responsibility for Davey. He is kept busy with his duties but both of them have made sure there is time for their family. They adopted a five year old daughter eight years ago and two five year old boys, two years later. It's been said more than once their now thirteen year old daughter can wrap her Grandpa Dean and her Grandpa Ted around her little finger any time she wants. It happens to be true. Their family reside in the newly constructed additional homes on the cul-de-sac. Mr. Brendan Stafford Styles Brendan is now 34. His summer at the `castle' made a distinct impression on him. Most of his holidays and vacations from then on were spent with the family. He gained more confidence in himself and stopped measuring himself by the neglect of his family. After completing a Masters Degree in Business Administration, Brendan was employed by McAdams Corp. and two years ago became a vice-president at McAdams, Tanner. He has been married for the past eight years and has two children, a girl of five and a girl of two. He and his wife are very happy and have a comfortable life. They live near the estate and visit often. Dr. Kevin Dean Tanner, Ph.D. (Kevin Thompson) Kevin is 33 years old. Before he turned 17, Kevin asked Ted to adopt him. He found he had come to recognize Tim as his partner and lover, but Ted was his Dad. He wanted to cement his relationship with the family by becoming a full legal member of it. His adoption was completed shortly after his 17th birthday. Kevin studied Archeology and completed his Doctorate. He is a full Professor at the University and the Director of his department. Kevin has received fame and critical renown among his peers and colleagues for his work in translations of the Dead Sea Scrolls and Egyptian Hieroglyphics. He loves Tim and his 12 and 10 year old sons with all his heart and maintains a close relationship with his brothers and his Dad. Dr. Todd Bartholomew Tenman, Ph.D. Todd also benefited from his summer at the estate. He started looking deeply at his relationship with his parents and finding an extensive gap, confronted them about it and forced the issue. After a year of family therapy, they were able to modify their relationships and establish a working arrangement which allowed them to interact at a moderate level. Todd pursued his interest in human interaction and earned a Doctor of Psychology degree and now works as a Clinical Psychologist at Memorial General Hospital. He is married and has a nine year old daughter and six year old son. The whole family visit the estate regularly and Todd maintains a close relationship with his Uncles Dean and Ted. He is 33 years old. Dr. David (Davey) Edward Tanner Ph.D. (David Graham Curry) Davey is 31 years old. He was adopted by Ted two months following the fulfillment of Prophesy. Following Tim's lead Davey completed a degree in Education and earned his Doctorate. He currently is a grade 4 teacher, enjoying the 9, 10 and 11 year old children who pass through his class. He has been offered a Principal position for several years now and repeatedly turns it down, preferring to stay in the classroom working directly with the children. His thirteen year old daughter and two eleven year old sons are the center of his and Brian's world and they still look to each other as lover, partner, friend and companion. Davey is close to all three of his brothers, but Jamie is still his best friend and he still has a special attachment to Denny and his Dad. Mr. Leonard (Len, Lenny) Scott Taylor Len is now 31. Never one for school work, Len did at the insistence of his friends Davey and Jamie complete college with a degree in electronics. He started his own computer software company and has had phenomenal success. Choosing to remain small in a very restricted market, he specialized in educational, medical and dental software and became the leading producer of quality, user friendly programming. Len married and has two boys, 8 and 5 and a daughter, 3 months. Jamie and Davey are still his best friends and his family spends much time at the estate with his parents and the family. Dr. James "Jamie" Hillsborough McAdams, M.D. and Dr. Evelyn Tracey (Evers) McAdams, M.D. Jamie is 30 years old. After graduating first in his class at the top medical school in the country, Jamie specialized in Neurosurgery and at an unheard of young age has become one of the top brain surgeons in the world. He is currently Chief of Staff and Director of Neurosurgery at Memorial General Hospital and has made it a world class facility. His beautiful wife, Tracey, is an Orthopedic Surgeon and heads that department. They have one set of twin boys, age four and a daughter, age 1. They have both chosen to limit their practices and take only the most severe cases, referring all others to their associates, thus allowing more time with their family. They have chosen to remain close to the family and live in one of the houses on the estate's cul-de-sac extension. Davey remains Jamie's best friend and they spend as much time together as possible, usually with their families. Dr. Dennis (Denny) Robert Tanner, Ph.D. (Dennis Thompson) Denny is 25 years old. He is the youngest Doctorate awardee the University has yet granted. He earned a Master of Business Administration and a Doctor of Economics. It was in no small part due to Tim's influence on his studies that he entered the University at 16 years of age and did his M.B.A. in three years. Denny is the Senior vice-president of McAdams, Tanner and his Uncle Dean's prot^Âg^Â. Dean has made it clear he intends to retire within the next five years and expects Denny to take over. Denny is not married, but he has had a steady girl friend for over a year and according to his brothers' continual teasing , "everything fits nicely". Denny remains very close to his Dad and Uncle as well as his brothers. To this day, this handsome, red headed, 6'3", 210 pound, mountain of masculine muscle, gets a warm feeling whenever his Dad wraps his arms around him and calls him, "my little man". It happens quite regularly. Since the day Denny met Ted, he has never had to question about being accepted or loved. Franklin Gustov (Gus) Taylor Gus is 25 years old. He and Denny are still best friends. Gus has followed Denny's lead and with Tim's help has completed his M.B.A. He was married three years ago to a fellow student and they have a two year old daughter. Gus works for McAdams Corp. as the Director of Finance. He is very competent and enjoys his job and his home. His family visits the estate frequently to see his parents and their friends. Matthew Douglas Wright Matthew is 23 years old. He is a post-graduate student at the University. He has obtained a Masters degree in Anthropology and is working on his Doctorate. He is also working as Kevin's assistant and receiving the best education anyone could hope for. Kevin and Tim look on him as their eldest son. Kevin is still his idol. Matthew has followed his `older brother' Denny's lead and not married yet though he has found he likes women very much and they like this intelligent, handsome, cheerful man. He still lives in the big house when he is home, but spends most of his spare time with Tim and Kevin's boys. They are the only ones who get to call him, Uncle Matt. The Guardians The four Guardians have kept a low profile since the fulfillment of Prophesy. The stories about them have become a combination of folk lore and supposition. Many believe it is just a story and we have all done everything possible to promote that opinion. Through the many contacts the family have, sometimes word of a special need will filter in. The Guardians respond in an appropriate manner. Most of the healing has been done for children who have had life threatening, or scarring accidents. Occasionally a special need will arise somewhere and the four will all be gone for a day. Once even they turned their attention to an old Chinaman who they did not feel they had seen enough of yet. They realized long ago they could not save everyone. They have brought a select few back. They have not been judgmental in the selection, it has depended on timing, availability and need. Deaths from trauma or accident, not the inevitability of time or nature. A young mother of two, dead because of a hospital labeling error on gas tanks, a teen killed by ice on the road, causing a car to run onto a sidewalk, the senseless mugging death of a woman supporting her single daughter and mentally challenged granddaughter, a police officer with a young family, shot while attending to a domestic dispute. These occasions remained very draining on them, like the first time when they didn't recover for four days. Four days without a movement and then they all woke within an hour of each other wanting to know when dinner would be ready. That was the single time I cried over them. This story has been my remembrances of the beginning of the lives of the Guardians. There are many more events, memories, people and some sorrows, but those are other stories. For now, you know and understand how we all came together to fulfill prophesy. I am, Chen
