RE: Extra Credit Questions - Rob Wick - 09-22-2012
I did some "research" and discovered the answer, Roger, but I'll hold off to give others a chance.

Ok, Rob. The prize is a night on the town with Denise Richards which you already have won previously. If a female member gets this question right I have arranged a night on the town with Johnny Depp as the prize.
RE: Extra Credit Questions - Rob Wick - 09-22-2012
Yeah, she kept talking about some guy named Charlie Sheen. Ruined the whole night for me.

Don't know the answer, but "is" is correct. None is really "no one."
RE: Extra Credit Questions - Rsmyth - 09-22-2012
I am guessing it is either Sarah Rickard or Elizabeth Abell.
RE: Extra Credit Questions - RJNorton - 09-22-2012
Yes, Rich. Your guess of Sarah Rickard is correct. For those folks who have Herndon's Informants see p. 664 at the very top. It is in a letter she wrote Herndon.
You win a free dinner at Gautier's Restaurant with Denise Richards, a student of mine in Downers Grove, Illinois, in 1984.
RE: Extra Credit Questions - LincolnMan - 09-22-2012
My other guess was going to be Matilda Edwards. Great question Roger.
RE: Extra Credit Questions - Rsmyth - 09-23-2012
Thank you Roger. My wife will never let me go so I am giving this dinner invite to Mr. Wick.

OK, but if the paparazzi shows up this time, I can't be held accountable for my actions.

Although books often differ on the exact details, Robert Lincoln was in the general proximity of three presidential assassinations.
Because of this, one author nicknamed him Jinxy McDeath.
Who dubbed Robert as Jinxy McDeath?
RE: Extra Credit Questions - Rob Wick - 09-25-2012
Sarah Vowell.

My gosh, asked and answered in 7 minutes. I don't even have a prize ready. Kudos, Rob. Since I don't have a prize ready, I'll just send you cash.
RE: Extra Credit Questions - Rob Wick - 09-25-2012
Cash is always good. In large bills, if you don't mind.

RE: Extra Credit Questions - RJNorton - 09-26-2012
In 1838 Lincoln included this sentence in a letter he wrote. To whom was he writing?
"I now have come to the conclusion never again to think of marrying and for the reason that I never could be satisfied with anyone who would be blockhead enough to have me."
RE: Extra Credit Questions - Rob Wick - 09-26-2012
Eliza Browning, wife of Orville Hickman Browning.
