Nature Done Wright

     To learn the answer to yesterday's Monday Morning Mystery, send a $5 donation (or more if you like) to the Lillian and Stiles Thomas Scholarship Fund. 

   Make checks payable to the Fyke Nature Association, with  a note in the memo section, “Scholarship Fund.”  Please send the donations to Box 141, Ramsey, NJ 07446.
