RE: Trivial Trivia - taking trivia to new levels
Thanks for all these brilliant guesses, Thomas, Laurie, and Roger - and Thomas' is indeed correct. Kudos! Speaking of correct, I probably will have to adjust the photo to make hint #1 a correct one:
Laurie, you may see better in the entirety: http://wikimapia.org/m/#lang=en&lat=38.8...8&z=19&m=b |

It's the snow I ran through in nothing but my underwear?

Thomas, I am not even going to guess about your last comment. You really are ready for college if you are out semi-streaking in this mess. |

Julia Dent Grant. She wanted a gypsy outfit to go to a costumed event -- right down to adding a tambourine. Gen. Grant refused to go in costume, but he did give her that nickname.

RE: Trivial Trivia - taking trivia to new levels
Well done, Laurie - I should probably have waited longer as I read this on this most interesting site the link to which Laurie sent me last weekend:
http://www.firstladies.org/biographies/f...ography=19 "After his wife organized a Mardi Gras masquerade ball early in their marriage, Grant would only appear in his uniform while she invested an enormous amount of energy into her costume as a gypsy. Observing her enthusiasm, he was prompted to go out and purchase a tambourine to complete her outfit, and nicknamed her 'Tambourina' for a time." Laurie, you win Julia Grant dancing Esmeralda's tambourine variation for you - here's how it should look like: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=I2o35T76OwY |

Actually Julia Grant was intended to entertain you, but this will sure be nice, too!

RE: Trivial Trivia - taking trivia to new levels
That's what I would have guessed also, but he did not take over until 1862 (according to my source) when the first doctor died.
BTW: Dr. Stone's specialty was eye disorders. |
