RE: Presidents and First Ladies Trivia - RJNorton - 03-31-2021
Nope, not Teddy Roosevelt.
RE: Presidents and First Ladies Trivia - Rob Wick - 03-31-2021
Woodrow Wilson?
Best
Rob
RE: Presidents and First Ladies Trivia - RJNorton - 03-31-2021
Nope, not Wilson.
Hint #2: He did not die in the White House, although he was President when he died.
RE: Presidents and First Ladies Trivia - Gene C - 03-31-2021
Warren Harding ?
RE: Presidents and First Ladies Trivia - RJNorton - 03-31-2021
Yes, Gene! Kudos. Harding became ill on a trip to the West. He was taken to the Palace Hotel in San Francisco. His wife, Florence, was reading to him, and he spoke his last words: "That's good. Go on, read some more." Some accounts say Florence read some more and was in the room when he died (probably from a heart attack). Other accounts say she finished reading and was not in the room, but she ran back in when he collapsed. After he died Florence told the others in the room, "I am not going to break down."

Please try without googling.
Who is the longest-lived President?
Who is the shortest-lived President?
RE: Presidents and First Ladies Trivia - Eva Elisabeth - 07-18-2021
Long-livest - Carter?
Short-lived - Kennedy? (Seems too easy...)
RE: Presidents and First Ladies Trivia - AussieMick - 07-18-2021
Agree with Eva about Kennedy.
Carter or Reagan for oldest ... just to be different I'll say Reagan
RE: Presidents and First Ladies Trivia - RJNorton - 07-18-2021
Kudos, Eva! You get a full point and Michael a half point for agreeing with Kennedy.
Now, maybe this will be more challenging. No googling please.
Who is the second longest-lived President?
Who is the second shortest-lived President?
RE: Presidents and First Ladies Trivia - Steve - 07-18-2021
2nd longest - Ford?
2nd shortest - Garfield
RE: Presidents and First Ladies Trivia - Gene C - 07-18-2021
Second Longest - Herbert Hoover ?
Second Shortest - William McKinley - ?
RE: Presidents and First Ladies Trivia - Steve Whitlock - 07-18-2021
2nd longest - George H. W. Bush
2nd shortest - Probably Garfield for same reason Kennedy died young
RE: Presidents and First Ladies Trivia - RJNorton - 07-18-2021
Kudos, Steve! James Garfield was 49 when he passed, and George H. W. Bush was 94 at the time of death. You get the full point; Steve Williams receives a half point.

Roger,
When I watched the funeral proceedings for George H. W. Bush I seem to recall there was mention that only Carter would be older.
