 		Daughters
Daughters of the American Revolution usually refers to descendents of folks from the revolutionary war... for instance, the grand daughters of Paul Revere, just to pull one out of my head, which would still make it 1800's, so it could go either way.

 		From DAR.org (Daughters of the American Revolution Website):

Founded: October 11, 1890

Eligibility for Membership:

Any woman 18 years or older, regardless of race, religion, or ethnic background, who can prove lineal descent from a patriot of the American Revolution.

Maybe the founders are buried in this cemetery?

 		DOD?
Nearly every clue in the letter ends with "his DOD ". IT looks like we have to use the DOD's to solve the puzzle. We may need them in order as well.

 		The second-to-last page of the letter says that if the people get all of the clues right ( all the DODs and such) the host will play some poker for prizes. So, maybe not? If nothing else, there are supposed to be *8* cards. They all can't be based on the live game, right?

No, but he does say "first" of 8 new cards, so we may need that one to find the others.

 		The most famous founder of DAR was Ellen Harding Walworth, I wonder if the Live Gamers will find her grave.

P.S. Arana, I quicklinked you for kicks. Smile

 		Solving the live game puzzle will clue us into the first card (and I think Arana's right that it's going to be DOD based, given the "some people's days are numbered" clue we also received). The first card will lead to the other 7.

Also, I think solving the puzzle is going to trigger a switch of the website into Civil War era, like our last switch to WWII.

 		Agreed.

The first card will probably lead to a massive waterfall of names.

The Italian cemetery was in the same vein. We went on a journey... *Big Echo* "Back in Time" lol

Time will tell.

 		Also, someone said that none of the current characters would have been alive during the civil war. But...

SPEC: The Live Gamers are talking about another Brown

Lucky's Uncle Seamus wrote him a letter when he was in WWII.

Is it possible Uncle Seamus could be a new card?

Maybe the Gun was in Lucky's family before the war and was lent to Maurice for a time.

 		I keep checking these dates with the Historic Congressional cemetery's website. They keep rosters on the representatives and such.
Orin Fowler, Mass. Rep., died 30 Apr 1852

Why don't these match up with the field reporters?

Oh, and its almost time for the real Last Call.

 		Transcript of the letters at DC. Forgive any typos and missed words, will attempt to add them in a mo'. Was hard to read from the pictures.

Edit: ---- denotes something I simply couldn't read. A ? is when I was unsure of a word.

Special Favor
Historic Congressional cemetery
October 22, 2005

I'm going to take you on a little journey through the Historic Congressional cemetery

partly because I want you to think about the people there. About their stories. So each

stop along the way study the stories and pay your respects. Do it as a group and be

creative.

There are also a few dates I want you to take down, from the good people I introduce you

to. YHou'll neeed their DODs later tonight. At some of the stops, I'll ask you to look

closer, as to --- some far-off friends. So you'll want to keep the leaner specs you at the

brick vault handy.
At the very last, do the final favor I ask. Get it right, and I'll send you a sign.

Oh yeah- make sure the winning (hand?) of the Tombstone Hold'Em tournament your with you on the entire journey. You'll need their luck and competetive know how to get through the mission.


Instructions:

Lets sayyou entered the cemetery from ______ Ave. (something). You'd want to continue South on what I'll call _______ road until you reached the roundabout where the chapel is. And then you'd want to continue on foot from there.

Head due east from the capel a few feet and you'd see rows? of Ceatphohs, or Spank?something to the north. At the third row, turn in and meet a Representative of the Keystone State, resting four graves in.

DOD___________________


*eyes here* Now stand immediately to the North of Mr. Keystone's grave and look East as far as you canm using the leaner specs. In front of a tall white column, you should be able to read the name on the grave Of an unfettered fellow, What is it?

____________


2- head --- --- the Entrance Road as you walk north, toward the entrance. You'll notice the more? --- of Con---- with year eight. Ch--- the 2nd row ----- from the road and ---- ---- from the Sounthern end of the --- This will bring you to another g--- tem--- from the Quaker State, a member of the 38th Congress

DOD _____________

*eyes* Now stand north of this grave and look far west in the line of sight of Mr. William McDonalds? final resting place. Find the grave that's being watched over by a 'club'and that holds a familiar name. Whats the name?


______________________________

Look closer: WAlk in th direction of the far-off grave you've just spotted until you meat a shutterbug. Where isn't he these days?

3- MOve back to the first row of Cenotaphs along the chapel road. At the northend end of the row, you'll find a gentlemen from the Empire State.

DOD________________________

*eyes* Now stand North of this grave and aim your eyes at the tallest obelisk directly southeast of you. Where are the ---- ---- ---- you can read on the side facing you?


_________________________


4--Standing along the south row of Cenotaphs, ----- -- ----- from the southend end. You'll find a gentleman from the Granite State.

DOD_____________________

*eyes* Now find this grave. With your plain eyes look due east to find the woman praying for a special ision, look your leaner specs to the womans right between the obelisks, you'll discover a small figure that has the aura of an apparitoin. How would you describe it?
___________________________

5- Now head (round?) the northeast corner of the cemetery. --- you --- the cemetery limity, you'll ---- a tomb with and eturnal flame. Just northeast of very patiotic grave, you'll find the ---grave of Ebenezor Eveleth's widow. Her DOD: ________________

Look closer: Just a few feet away you'll find a turned over 'heart' with a loneyly m----. What's it say?


______________________


And along? walk east now, until you come to the road. follow it south to the 1st crossroads. You'll find the out-spoken grave of a hero. According to him, never what? Never what?

______________________________________

And closer still: Keep heading south along the same road to the next crossroads. Turn right and walk past the mansoleums. At the end of the road, you'll meet the enternal lovers. What wasn't enough for James and Tam?

6-Head north toward the chapel. Return to the very first congressman you met today. Just southeast of his grave is a gentlement from the Old Colony. 2nd in from the road. His DOD:
________________________

*eyes* Now stand north of the grave and --- your ----- leaners specs to seek out a dainty --- ----- by the brick wall. What's the name you spy?


7- There's a tree just northeast of the chapel at the end of Entrance Road. Look under the tree's cover for final resting place of Mr. Robert Armeur's loved ones.

His sons DOD____________________

8- Head north on entrance road until you come upon a brick path to your left. Follow the path and watch on your right for a leaning madonna. Meet the man buried two graves to her left.

Andrews DOD _________

The final favor

Head east on the brick path until you reach a this of timbustime? ---- on your right. Walk towards them then past until you meet three daughters of the American Revolution.

Now leave a temporary offering of at least 300 chips, join hands aound the three womens graves and pay your respects to complete this task.


When your done huddle together as close as you can in front of the ----- graves. Your friends will help find the sweet spot for my final package? to you today.


Last Call
Before you leave the cemetery remember to give your Tombstone Holdem host your last call poker names so I can know exactly who helped me out today.

While your at it's resting the leaner specs and show your host the list of what you saw when you looked closer or far away. I've authorized her to play a gquick gam eof poker for a few more suvenoirs if you got the list exactly right.

PS Some peoples dogs are ---- keep that in mind and you'll have all the information you need ot reveal the first of eight new cards. Good luck

Lucky got the gun in WWII from Maurice after Maurice took it off John Whitecloud to shoot Father Mueller. John got it from "Buddy of mine, son of an old Nebraska Lawman".

Lucky said that earlier history of the GUN would be "another story", predicted to be TODAY's.
