	Teddie Palmer of the Rumble Band
	A few months ago, we received an email from Teddie Palmer. Teddy wanted to say hello and told us his name is actually spelled Teddie (not Teddy), a mistake by his record company that stuck! Although retired from performing, Teddie remains involved in show business. He is living in England. Follow this link to see more on Teddie's career.  http://hometown.aol.co.uk/glamrockbear2/page5.htm

	Shaun Magee of Chips
	We recently got a nice email from Shaun Magee who played with several top bands in the 1970's and early 80's. He started out with a band called Tapestry which became Sunshine. In 1974, Chips offered him a spot and he stayed with the band until 1978. After that he put in time with Gibney and Donovan, Sheeba, and Joe Cuddy before emigrating to Canada in 1987, and still is today. Thanks for the pics and update, Shaun!

	Irene McElroy of Chips
	Irene's husband, Derek Archibald, was nice enough to send us an update on Irene. After leaving Chips, she took some time off and did not sing for a number of years. She met up with a Scottish musician and they played for four years in Tenniriffe, after which she returned to Ireland and teamed up with her current playing partner and they have been together for five years as "It Takes Two." Our thanks to Derek for the update!
