RE: Tough Tarbell Trivia
Clue #5
The movie previously mentioned was made 17 years after Tarbell wrote the book. Best Rob Abraham Lincoln is the only man, dead or alive, with whom I could have spent five years without one hour of boredom. --Ida M. Tarbell
I want the respect of intelligent men, but I will choose for myself the intelligent. --Carl Sandburg

RE: Tough Tarbell Trivia
Correct Roger. The movie I mentioned was Wing and a Prayer which was made in 1944, 17 years after Tarbell about Wing. Sorry, but the prize budget for 2013 was spent last year on Mayan-related festivities.

RE: Tough Tarbell Trivia
In 1913 Tarbell was one of the first female journalists to do what?

RE: Tough Tarbell Trivia
This is a tough one Rob. Maybe she was one of the first female journalists to interview Henry Ford?

Sorry Roger, but that's not it either.
Clue #1 It happened in New York City. Best Rob Abraham Lincoln is the only man, dead or alive, with whom I could have spent five years without one hour of boredom. --Ida M. Tarbell

RE: Tough Tarbell Trivia
This was before Prohibition so I'll guess either drink in a bar (or smoke cigarettes in public)?

RE: Tough Tarbell Trivia
Good job, Gene. That's correct.
In 1912, Tarbell had made a statement about how she believed flying to be safe but added that she had never done so. Henry Woodhouse, who was editor of Flying magazine, offered Tarbell the opportunity to fly and then asked if she would write about it for the magazine. She agreed. Here is an article she also wrote for the American Magazine of her experiences. Gene, you win a free flight in the plane which carried Tarbell, although I imagine you'll have to find a new pilot. Best Rob Abraham Lincoln is the only man, dead or alive, with whom I could have spent five years without one hour of boredom. --Ida M. Tarbell

RE: Tough Tarbell Trivia
Time to dust off some Tough Tarbell Trivia.
Generally speaking, Ida Tarbell rarely said anything truly negative about someone in her personal correspondence. However, there was one individual that, at least on one occasion, she let her true feelings be known (albeit to another person, not the individual in question). Of whom did Tarbell say "There is a touch of intellectual snobbery about him as well as a great lack of humor, which, unless he overcomes them, is going to seriously interfere with his ambition to be President of the United States." I'll even provide a clue. The person in question made no secret of his dislike for Tarbell. Best Rob Abraham Lincoln is the only man, dead or alive, with whom I could have spent five years without one hour of boredom. --Ida M. Tarbell

That's a really good guess, Bill, but it's not TR.
