[edit] Field and Stream contest

I was delighted to find that someone (can't figure out just who, from the editing history) had included the story of this contest and his winning entry here. I was a 2nd year Latin student at the time and every month, like my parents, read Ed Zern's column -- which appeared on the last page of the magazine. Had tried my hand at creating an entry for the contest but gave up, unhappy with my efforts...when Pelikan's winner was published, with its nifty double triple alliteration, I was pleasantly shocked that someone with such linguistic and poetic talent had stumbled onto Zern's challenge.

I don't know if anyone will be able to find a copy of that issue of the magazine in order to enable an exact reference to the month and year in which the winning entry was published. But I can vouch here that the story has been retold accurately, and the Latin version of the motto reproduced faithfully; I've never forgotten it. Publius3 (talk) 09:18, 5 March 2008 (UTC)
