I wrote most of this puzzle several weeks ago while vacationing on the beaches of North Carolina. Below are 12 lists of letters. I had simple instructions for figuring out what these lists are all about but I lost them. When one is at the beach and one’s thoughts turn to attractive ladies in swimsuits, mistakes can happen. While I was so distracted, the tide came in and took away the simple instructions. Sorry. I do remember that each list of letters involves a name not so well known and another name that is very well known. There’s also an explanation somewhere. I’m sure someone here can sort this out. * * * 1. NOOMRRAEHEITGOMANK 2. OIHUIQARABAZEWREAPALIEGINA 3. HKCENNERFETEUNERCKREYHTAESH 4. VNOISNHRGOIJENLISOCAIN 5. EILLLDINNIHSENOIREHITAAKS 6.

NC also has some lovely parks. It would be a shame to miss them. ---

Yes, I can think of one of those er… parks…in particular, though it is not in NC. Haven’t seen it for several years though. ---

Typo alert: Shouldn’t # 7 be HOTIMKSLALEHTONWAHMAS? ---

There he is - Mr. Puzzle Guy! Welcome home, **Biotop**! I’m certainly glad your vacation plans didn’t include sightseeing in NYC or the Pentagon. I’m so glad, in fact, I’m even willing to forgive you for Puzzle 24 (which I hope you noticed we _finally_ [solved](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=83794) during your absence). ---

I’m at work and am supposed to be toiling on the 4th quarter budget, but let me see… **Setec** , I don’t see a typo in 7, but I’m probably wrong. Let me look at it again… **aseymayo** , Congratulations on solving #24! I told you the answer was RIGHT THERE, didn’t I? By the way, I had “lower” as a definition for Cow (5), but Steer works just as well. If I get a chance tonight, I’ll post the ending I wrote for that story. It’s great to be back here! ---

**Setec** Don’t discard that “E”. You may need it for something else. #7 has no typo, at least not one that I can see. ---

I can’t believe I really solved the puzzle! This is so exciting! I just can’t believe it! ::smiles and cries at the same time:: Seriously though, I think the lady in #1 actually spells her name a little differently. ---

Congratulations **Peregrine**! You win this week’s crown. I think **Setec** was pretty close on this one as well so we have a first-runner-up. Sorry about the name mispelling on #1. I got the spelling from a local paper that Sunday Morning–I should have checked elsewhere. And as always, **aseymayo** , I appreciate your congeniality! ---

Humph - congeniality, indeed! I must’ve blown the talent portion by not singing the whole damned song. C’mon, **rowrrbazzle** , let’s push Peregrine off the runway and steal her roses! And I’m sure I’ve got naked photos of Setec around here somewhere! ---
