Re: strange reference questions



Okay,
I just have to chime in now--don't forget the pictures of Seaman the dog
and the maps that Lewis and Clark used to find their way.  We've heard them
all here.

I have a photo of my dachshund that I keep for those asking about the dog.
But thank goodness someone here in the state finally put a book out about
Seaman.
