Congratulations to "Hogans10," the first person or persons to find the Treasure Chest! I will be off from work and away from e-mail this week so I won't be answering messages till I get back. If my inbox gets full, you'll get a message to that effect; just wait and resend it later. I'll keep the contest open for a couple weeks at least.

My good friend Steve has agreed to check on the chest at some point while I'm away in case it needs a refill. Thanks, Steve! Anyone with children in their lives should check out Steve's CDs (check his web site for ordering info). Steve is a great story teller, and writes some terrific songs and his newest CD, "Outta School," is in my opinion even better than his first, "Hang On Henry." You can also catch him live in Nashua at the Cultural Festival on Ash Street this Sunday Aug. 26.
