Date: Sat, 21 Feb 1998 15:05:32 -0500 


Hi Landmark Participants,

Hope your are all having fun!

Well here they are the third and final set of clues.  I know you have all
been very busy doing lots of research!  Thanks to all who are keeping to
the timeline and answering questions as soon as possible.

Please remember  you are to submit your guesses to landmark@ga.k12.pa.us by
midnight March 6.  I will be sending a form sometime next week.  You should
just fill in your guesses next to the school name and send it back.  Please
make sure you include your school name in the message.  I can't tell you
how many schools sent in their clues and never included their names.  I had
to search the data base each time to find some hit to their identification.


I will be presenting at two conferences the week of March 8.  So if you
could possibly get you guesses in by March 5.  I would appreciated it.  I
will tally the score on Saturday March. 7 and send out the scores before I
live on Sunday March 8.

Thanks for your cooperation.

Good Luck to All!
