c. Uppingham
d.-z. This map

2. Old dead famouspeople (Adams, Lawrence)
a. Dennison
b. Hathaway

3. English towns you will probably mispronounce
a. Colchester
b. Faversham
c. Aylesham

4. Red Sox Players (Wakefield, Lowell)
a. Eckersley (somewhere on the cape)
b. Porcello

5. Native American names (Natick, Waban)

c. Moshipsq

6. Geographical towns (Nor/Westwood, West/Easton, North/South/Westborough)
