 Over the next nine years, Shane and Guard reconciled to a large degree.Guard was suffering from cancer though apparently in remission when Shane and Reynolds visited him in New Hampshire in the summer of 1990, and the three discussed the possibility of a reunion tour that would again feature Shane's current troupe (which by this time included a re-invigorated Nick Reynolds) as well as Guard and Stewart.Guard's lymphoma returned, however, and he died in March 1991.
