Even with these scans I remain skeptical. Until the orginal poster comes
through with more specific info about the purchase, I withhold judgment. I
realize that a hoax is rather far-fetched, but why are we being so coy? Most
people give plenty (almost TOO much) detail about their shopping trips. Why not
here? Where exactly was the purchase in "lower-mainland BC"? Pendicton?
Kelowna? Trail? (I'm in easy driving distance of these places, so I can
verify the find. And, I will be passing through BC on my way to Calgary in a
couple weeks.) What was the name of the store? What street was it on? Is the
original poster the one who sent Joseph Gonzalez the scans? If not, who is it?
I ain't a-cusing nobody of nothin' but this still seems a little fishy...

james parkin
