Thank you :) And you are right, I do not like to swear :) I leave that to Sam ;) Thanks to both of you :) Jules -----Original Message----- From: Mark Twain Forum [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Kevin Mac Donnell Sent: Saturday, December 21, 2013 2:22 PM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Re: CONTEST Indeed, Jules did send proof of her memberships & subscriptions. But she didn't need to go to that trouble -- the rules only required some swearing. But she makes a good point, and perhaps she doesn't like to swear. So there may be two winners for #1. Jules will get the two prints for sure, and Susan Harris has told me she will confirm her information when she returns from India. There are still no winners for #2 or #3.
