The Mystery Revealed -- Almost
September 01, 2009
To learn the answer to yesterday's Monday Morning Mystery, send a $5 donation (or more if you like) to the Lillian and Stiles Thomas Scholarship Fund.
Make checks payable to the Fyke Nature Association, with a note in the memo section, “Scholarship Fund.” Please send the donations to Box 141, Ramsey, NJ 07446.

If you are too cheap (or too impatient) to send a donation, click "Continue reading ..." for the answer. :- )
