Thanks Roger, although half the time I can't remember where I put my glasses.
Best
Rob

Maybe Charles Francis Adams?

Who said this?
"Just before my birth my mother had them remove her into the log part of the house. She wanted me to be born in a log house. She had read the life of Lincoln. So I got the log house end of it OK. All I need now is the other qualifications."

No idea...wild guess... Amelia Earhart?
RE: Who Said This? - AussieMick - 02-27-2021 05:35 PM
Gene, was he/she American?
RE: Who Said This? - Eva Elisabeth - 02-28-2021 02:41 AM
Was it another US president? (I think there were two, three others born in a log house.)
RE: Who Said This? - Gene C - 02-28-2021 12:51 PM
All good guesses.
It was not Earhart
Is/was an American
Not another US President
This person is/was a successful star of film and stage.
RE: Who Said This? - Eva Elisabeth - 02-28-2021 12:52 PM
Any politician? Or a writer?
RE: Who Said This? - RJNorton - 02-28-2021 01:03 PM
D.W. Griffith?
RE: Who Said This? - Gene C - 02-28-2021 02:32 PM
Yes, Eva.
This person had a very popular newspaper column and also ran for President of the United States.
Not D W Griffin, but our mystery person was in three movies directed by John Ford
RE: Who Said This? - RJNorton - 02-28-2021 03:24 PM
John Wayne?
RE: Who Said This? - Rogerm - 02-28-2021 04:08 PM
