Evidence is presented for a pattern in the recurrence time of gamma ray bursts from GBS0526-66, showing an apparent period of 164 days. It is suggested that this pattern reflects periodic accretion to a neutron star from an eccentric binary companion. It is proposed that this system drives two types of bursts: (1) the relatively frequent but weak recurrent bursts produced by either magnetospheric gating, or thermonuclear runaway, of periodically accreting matter around the neutron star, and (2) the much rarer intense bursts produced by tidally triggered star quakes.
