  linlou:
      IMO, Fred is not *gone * at this point just starting toward 
the divider.

   linlou:
       George is not gone yet, he is calling after Fred to hurry so 
he can take his turn. If it was Fred calling after he went through 
the barrier I don't think we would have been able to hear him.

    linlou:
       This is George going through the barrier.
