RE: Trivia Advent Calendar
Kudos, Laurie and Thomas - this is correct, and here's where I found the drawing:

I am willing to give a point to you like I have done to others before for asking key questions or posting pics or info to corroborate and hope you share what made you sure.

RE: Trivia Advent Calendar
There's a frontal view sketch of the house on this site, but it won't let me cut and paste http://www.waltwhitman.org/
By the way, Eva, you had me going there when you said that it was not north of Pennsylvania. Walt was born in New York, but on Long Island (just like me!), which is at the southern tip of the state and geographically adjacent to Pennsylvania. Nice trick! |

RE: Trivia Advent Calendar
And it's not over yet. Four more questions, Eva? I'm runnning out of strategies.

Maybe we should call a Christmas truce?

RE: Trivia Advent Calendar
Long ago I think Bill Nash posted something that may (or more likely may not) be what you posted, Eva. I do not clearly remember what it looked like. But I will guess Cleveland, Ohio. (Definitely a wild guess)

RE: Trivia Advent Calendar
A very good guess, Roger, but I am sorry to say this is not in Ohio. "Remember" is a good keyword though.
Hint #1: The woman next to Abraham Lincoln is not Mary! Hint #2: Tonight, too, I will answer yes/no questions. |

Is that Winston Churchill in back of Abe? Maybe not, but looks a little like him.
