<DIV><SPAN class=609331314-28102007><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff>The reason
the gate is locked is that vandals have been destroying the gardens and breaking
the spotlights around the mansion. The latest incident involved taking
gourds from the garden and breaking them on the driveway. In the past they
have broken the mercury lights in the rear of the mansion among other
things. I talked to Ed Day and he felt it necessary to lock the back gate
which is understandable. You can still gain access through the parking lot
near the admin building. </FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=609331314-28102007><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff>If you see
anything suspicious going on over there call the police. I don't want any
more gates locked because of these vandals.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
