That’s DOUG – he works at Kinko’s/FedEx.

This was our FIRST STOP – we emailed the

Clue Sheet to Pat & she helped us remotely.

Yes – I am a psychic & KNOW what you are ALL

thinking – and the answer is NO – this is NOT CHEATING.

Use of technology/phoning a friend/engaging strangers

is ENCOURAGED!

skateboards, roller blades… you get the picture.
