The last time I checked, Gene, Hillary lost the election (god bless the Electoral College!).

Jerry, does strawberry blonde count? Both Washington and Jefferson qualify if it does, but the sources I googled seemed to be guessing that it was either Van Buren on Benjamin Harrison.

No strawberry blondes need apply. I was looking for Van Buren

RE: Extra Credit Questions - Eva Elisabeth - 11-11-2017 01:43 PM

I was just going to guess van Buren (read the question earlier this day but couldn't post) because he was Dutch... (meeting the cliché of Frau Antje who has advertised Dutch dairies for decades...

If Van Buren had been a blonde, is this actually a portrait of Van Buren as a younger man or not?

(This isn't meant as a trivia question, I'm honestly confused about the portrait.)

RE: Extra Credit Questions - Eva Elisabeth - 11-11-2017 02:25 PM

Well, I've seen all shades of brown being declared as blonde by the hair "owners" (all female). (Nope, doesn't look blonde to me either!)

RE: Extra Credit Questions - Gene C - 11-11-2017 03:18 PM

Maybe the hair that used to be there was blonde?

Who slept in this bed?

RE: Extra Credit Questions - Steve - 11-17-2017 10:32 AM

Mary Lincoln

RE: Extra Credit Questions - RJNorton - 11-17-2017 01:56 PM

Excellent, Steve. Yes, this is Mary Lincoln's bed. It was in her room when she was at Bellevue Place in 1875. Nowadays it's at the Depot Museum in Batavia, Illinois.

I knew it wasn't the death room at the Petersen House, but the furniture arrangement reminded me of it.

Four Universities can boast that among their graduates is a President and a Superbowl winning quarterback. Can you name any of them?

RE: Extra Credit Questions - Rogerm - 11-18-2017 11:42 PM

Stanford University graduate, Herbert Hoover, was a very unpopular president because his economic policies are blamed for the Great Depression. Also, Stanford grad, John Elway, quarterbacked the Denver Broncos to two Superbowl championships.

Bingo - That was one of the difficult ones since Hoover was forgettable.

I want to know who the other three are!

OK they are Michigan, Navy and University of Miami Ohio.

Can you now fill in the rest?
