Checked out Palace the other night. They have 4 sports fields, numbered, and a line of 9 trees down one boulevard. Not very dug up over there then, but it probably

is now.

Be an Iconoclast which is one "attacks settled beliefs or institutions." It has been a belief that the medallion will be hidden at a park where it was hidden in previous

years. This year I do not think that is the case.

Lisa O'Connell

Did anyone look up Iconoclast in the encyclopedia?? If you did you will see under the architecture part that "FOUR" is for four curved triangles meeting together to

form a pendentive. A pendentive is the architecture for a dome and "ROUND AND WHITE AND STRETCHED QUITE TIGHT" would be the material used to

complete the dome. A "NINE" is the size of a baseball team and "FIVE" is the size of a basketball team. Maybe I am way off but I did "STUDY THE PAST". Does

anyone know where there is a golf dome with a park nearby?

We just decided that the man of fame is babe ruth and the name ruth is in the tome which would be the bible (book of ruth) Studying the old and value in new refers

to old and new testament. Ruth street could suspect at battle creek. Back to the babe ruth there is lots of references to baseball like bring the treasure home as in

home run. and we think it is hidden in a baseball cause it is white and round and the cover is stretched over it.

hey Rock I went to st. Francis also but I don't think the booya thing has anything to do w/ it- but who knows?
