I'm afraid that Lutacaga Elementary is all too real: 795 S. 7th Street in
Othello WA (home of the Lutacaga Lions). Or you can call the school at
509-488-5876 (ask for Principal Mary Ann Nelson :-)

Let's see . . . between the three of us, so far we've each sent 1 message on
this topic - each of which has been re-sent to about 1000 totally
uninterested Triumph owners. A total of 3303 emails, more or less. I agree
that these chain letters are an overdone stunt, but Mrs. Ainley's Fifth
Grade Class would probably have been happy with a tenth of the bandwidth
we've just wasted.
