How to script to find the newer date in a text file?

Hi,
I have a text file, foo.txt, it looks something like below. In the file there is a line that gives the date in the form of: Mon Jun 15 11:09:31 2008. I need to find which date is the newest and then store certain details of that list data to another file. So, in this sample text file, I need the data from add, mob and tele from List #1 into another file called foo1.txt because List # 1 is the newest and those three attributes are the only ones I ever need.

foo.txt:

List  #            Name
-----           ------------------
4                george
6                george
5                george
1                george

List  #: 4
Name:        blah1
Tele:           blah2
Mob:          blah3
Add:          blah4
Ext. 1:       blah5
Ext. 2:       blah6
Ext. 3:       blah7
Date:         Mon Jun 15 11:09:31 2008

List #: 6
Name:        blah1
Tele:           blah2
Mob:          blah3
Add:          blah4
Ext. 1:       blah5
Ext. 2:       blah6
Ext. 3:       blah7
Date:         Mon Jun 15 11:10:31 2008

List #: 5
Name:        blah1
Tele:           blah2
Mob:          blah3
Add:          blah4
Ext. 1:       blah5
Ext. 2:       blah6
Ext. 3:       blah7
Date:         Mon Jun 15 11:11:31 2008

List #: 1
Name:        blah1
Tele:           blah2
Mob:          blah3
Add:          blah4
Ext. 1:       blah5
Ext. 2:       blah6
Ext. 3:       blah7
Date:         Mon Jun 15 10:09:31 2008

You could convert the dates to seconds and see which one is largest and then go back and grab the appropriate data you want.

date -d "Mon Jun 15 10:09:31 2008" +%s

How would I grab those dates to perform that?
And how would I then grab that data from that correct List #?

grep or egrep would probably be a good start.

Understood, looking for some syntax help.

egrep "Tele|Mob|Add|Date" foo.txt | cut -d: -f2-
