England Slide Show

From November 8th to 17th, 1997, Warren and Rhonda Peskett vacationed in England.

Included with this edition of the Peskett Enquirer is a state-of-the-art slide projector, plus a small collection of slides from the vacation for your viewing ecstasy. Please note that due to gross staff incompetence, projectors and slides may be missing from some packages. If this is the case with your package, please contact The Enquirer for a personal viewing of the vacation package.
