b.) a new Xerox machine
c.) a sprinkler system for the Myth Garden

I'd like to guess B, just cuz.

It'd be way cooler if it was A, though

I can't keep this exciting news a secret any longer! A generous Arkansas couple have recently gifted this fabulous 1904 painting to the HQ. It's called A Tea Party and signed Ina Boles. (The picture does not do it justice!)

Does anyone have any new trivia questions? I'd try to think of some, but I think everything interesting I know has already been a question.

Allie Simonds, one of our founders, was not known as an artist, but she did illustrate a book written by Univ. of Arkansas professor Jerome McNeill entitled: REVISION OF THE TRUXALINAE OF NORTH AMERICA. What was the subject of her drawings?

a.) carnations
b.) grasshoppers
c.) owls
d.) lobsters

xo_kathy · #**522** 03-17-2005, 01:38 PM

I'm going with B - grasshoppers!

I googled the word and found it listed on a website outdoorbooks.com/bugs
They have an author signed copy for sale!

NutBrnHair · #**523** 03-17-2005, 02:50 PM

You are correct, Sister Kathy! (The book you saw on the website for sale was recently purchased and is on its way to the Chi Omega National Archives!)
