Flanders Dyke was age 29 when the pages were stolen. Men in this age grouping are likely to move from town to town. They are willing to dream and take risks in hopes of bettering themselves. They like adventure and would not scoff at the possibility of a get-rich quick scheme such as being a treasure hunter. They are typically married and have young children, but willing to act as if they are not tied down. The apron string does not always hold them.
