Dear Sarah,

It came through just the same as before. I can't figure out why my
browser does with some people's e-mails and not with others.

For me to be sure of getting it, you would need to put a hard
carriage turn after each sentence, i.e. make each sentence a separate
paragraph.

If you don't have time to do this, Jay Drew said he would be sending
me hard copy of your clues and I will just type in the missing parts
at my end.

Best regards,

Tom

Hey, Tom! How's that Maine tan? The Walkabout clues went postal and
should be arriving soon. Got me thinking about "Walkabout." Sounds
kinda Aussie, what? Around WWII, there was an Australian Navy ship in
repair at Narragansett Bay (Quonset Point, I think), and the Captain
was worried that his boys were getting a little restless (and perhaps
the mayor of Warwick was worried about the local gals' virtue). So,
the ozzie navy crew went up into the northwest corner of nowhere and
built that wonderful 8 mile loop trail (and word has it that the
locals --including the ladies -- really took them in during the
project). Sounds kind of like Jack Aubrey and his cricket matches,
doesn't it?
