Final Winners

Entries have declined, so I am making yesterday's contest the final one for the week and declaring both entrants, Allison and Kate, winners. Congratulations, guys! I loved both of your entries, reminiscing about the old days.

Allison cited the 2003 PETA incident from my entry about the Aberdeen Grammar School on February 2, 2007: "In 2003, the PETA animal rights group held a protest outside the school to try and persuade children to stop drinking milk. Over 100 pupils held a counter protest pelting the activists with milk and chanting their own pro-milk slogans. Police had to be called to save the PETA group including one man dressed as a cow."

Kate reminded me of the streaking incidents we experienced a couple of times, which I blogged about on June 4, 2007: "Evidently, Scotland has a streaking problem. I can honestly say that in the 25 years I lived in the US, I never once encountered a streaker while in the 9 months that we have lived here we've seen two. Last night I was quietly knitting in the living room when, all of a sudden, as Trey entered the room he exclaimed, "Oh my goodness! That guy's streaking!" I looked up just in time to see the fellow's bare back, and then he was gone. It stopped the bowlers momentarily, who sauntered over to get a better look. End of term excitement, perhaps? Not sure how else to explain the lunacy of running around nude on a chilly northeast Scottish evening."

Good times! We'll work out the details of getting these books to you once I have them from Zondervan. So there you have it. Five books to four winners. I will probably give away more in the future, but for now thanks for participating.
