Tonight's Topic: July 1st Special!
Good morning/evening, everybody! Thank you for joining us tonight.
We hope you'll discover something interesting during the time we spend together on the Insomniac Net for the next 90+ minutes.
-- The ever-delightful Shelley [KF7TBA] and just plain old LW [K7LWA] (email K7LWA.INS@gmail.com).
(Please Note: The Net Controller's Answers are always CORRECT (even if they aren't every time!)
Please check out Winsystem's Insomniac Trivia Net page.

=================
According to most history books about the American Civil War, on this day -- July 1, 1863 -- the Battle of Gettysburg (PA) began.
Some believe this engagement between the armed forces of the Confederate Gen. Robert E. Lee against those of the Union's Gen. George Meade was the Civil War's turning point.
However, for others -- including LW -- the turning point occurred on June 28th, when the mile-long covered Wrightsville-Columbia Bridge (which spanned the Susquehanna River) was torched and destroyed.
And if your choice is right -- and you have a shot of getting any one of 4 (I repeat "4") correct ANSWER SEQUENCES tonight!
Now, isn't that SPECIAL?
Please choose your answers from the very specific Answer choices (i.e., not A or B or C) listed for each of the following question.
OK, let's get ready to pick the winners...
