<DIV><FONT color=#000000 size=2>Here in the Upper Valley (of the Connecticut
River), West Lebanon NH is called "West Leb," although Lebanon itself
is never called "Leb." Incidentally, the local pron of Lebanon (and
West Lebanon) is not like that of the country; instead, the final syllable is
unstressed.</FONT></DIV>
