There was a rich old man,
Who built a grand shoe;
He had so much to give,
He didn't know what to do.
He gave away money
To people he met.
These things that he did,
So we wouldn’t forget.

To identify the correct placement of letters we use a code. The first number represents the number of the question and the second number represents the number of the letter in answer to that question. For example, 3-5, 4-2, 1-6 would correspond to the 5th letter of the 3rd answer, the 2nd letter of the 4th answer and the 6th letter of the 1st answer. Here is the code:


4-5, 3-5, 1B-1, 7-2, 7-4, 3-3, 6-3, 1A-1, 3-2, 2-11, 5-5, 1B-8, 5-3, 2-4, 5-1, 1B-10. 3-7

A very special “thank you” to Carleen for granting her permission to plant this box. We appreciate her efforts in preserving this piece of history and honoring this generous man.

A small fee is required to tour this historic place. The tour guide is "in on it", so please don't be shy about stamping in, even if you are with a tour group. Please use only black ink and be prepared to stamp in without use of a table. Please follow all rules of the tour and do not touch anything but the letterbox. If others are interested in the hobby, please share the stamp image and details of the fun waiting for them.
