From: cruisinonmt@yahoo.com 2005-06-30 10:46:16	I have 30 $500 EE bonds that matured in February. They were purchased on 2/19/93. At what rate will they continue to mature, and if I choose to redeem them is the accrual date effective on the 1st of the month every six months or on the date (19th) that they were purchased?
