George Barker is on a distinguished road
Default Hi from George Barker

I am interested in spreading the word that we continue in another world after bodily death so joined this online society which has the same aim.

I am a retired engineer [B.Sc (Engineering) (UCL) M.I.Mech.E.], age 91. My last job was project engineering for ICI the Stone and Webster Ethylene Plant at Wilton, Teesside, UK, now owned by Huntsman. My first job was to look after a Hawker Audax biplane army cooperation aeroplane at RAF Catterick in Yorkshire

My wife died of Alzheimer's disease in 2006. We have four children, two boys and two girls, nine grandchildren and nine great-grandchildren. The younger daughter and two grandchildren are in Albuquerque, the grandson being a professional violinist. The daughter is an assistant professor in the University of New Mexico and my son-in-law is a federal public defender. I have a sister in Whitley Bay in Northumberland.

Whilst I was ground crew in the RAF in 1938, a friend persuaded some of us to experiment with a circle to investigate the possible afterlife and one of our circle turned out to be an excellent trance medium. This is what started me investigating the matter further.

In retirement I studied to elementary levels (City and Guilds Level 2 as then was) Office Word, Excel, Access, Internet and Email, HTML, and Dreamweaver. I had become secretary and webmaster for my amateur orchestra, Bournemouth Philharmonic Society, Concerts by Bournemouth Philharmonic Society , and made other websites as a hobby. One is a separate domain popularclassics.co.uk but the others are subfolders in the orchestra domain. See the bottom of the links page for them.

Further personal information is in 29th Entry Home Page and my page in The Tiller Girls & Tiller School of Dance run by my cousin Bernard Tiller.

I initiated websites for the Bournemouth National Spiritualist Church, the Parkstone Spiritual Community, and the Brockenhurst Music Society, which have been taken over by younger people.

Although I am not of their persuasion I have just made a website for the Ringwood Christian Spiritualist Church.

I go to physical séances run by Zerdin Phenomenal using medium Bill Meadows.

I go to a musical summer school at Dartington Hall in Devon, UK, for two weeks every August.

I used to play sax and clarinet in dance bands in pre-pop times. Now as well as playing viola I play penny whistle in jazz bands.

That's all there is about me.
