 I will send a Ben Franklin bookmark to the first 10 people who answer correctly.   You can find my address at the bottom of my home page:  </B><A HREF="index.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="The Magic of Reading"><U><B>The Magic of Reading</B></U></A><B>.</B></div> <bR> <div> <A HREF="id122.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="SPRING TOUR 2008"><U><B>SPRING TOUR 2008</B></U></A></div> <div> <A HREF="id121.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="FALL TOUR 2007"><U><B>FALL TOUR 2007</B></U></A></div> <div> <A HREF="id119.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="SPRING TOUR 2007"><U><B>SPRING TOUR 2007</B></U></A></div> <div> <A HREF="id118.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="FALL TOUR 2006"><U><B>FALL TOUR 2006</B></U></A></div> <div> <A HREF="id116.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="SPRING T0UR 2006"><U><B>SPRING T0UR 2006</B></U></A></div> <div> <A HREF="id115.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="FALL TOUR 2005"><U><B>FALL TOUR 2005</B></U></A></div> <div> <A HREF="id114.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="SPRING TOUR 2005"><U><B>SPRING TOUR 2005</B></U></A></div> <div> <A HREF="id113.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="FALL TOUR 2004"><U><B>FALL TOUR 2004</B></U></A></div> <div> <A HREF="id98.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="SPRING TOUR 2004 "><U><B>SPRING TOUR 2004 </B></U></A></div> <div> <A HREF="id65.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="FALL TOUR 2003"><U><B>FALL TOUR 2003</B></U></A></div> <div> <A HREF="id63.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="SPRING TOUR 2003"><U><B>SPRING TOUR 2003</B></U></A></div> <bR> <div> <A HREF="index.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="The Magic of Reading"><U><B>The Magic of Reading</B></U></A></div> <div> <A HREF="id43.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Photo Album"><U><B>Photo Album</B></U></A></div> </td> </tr></table></body>
