You are correct, Rob.

I have currently run out of prizes, so I will send you the same amount of cash as last time.

Hopefully, the Teachers' Retirement System of the State of Illinois is in better shape than what I've been hearing, and my pension checks will keep on arriving.

RE: Extra Credit Questions - Rob Wick - 09-26-2012 01:55 PM

You can always write me a check, and I can fill in the amount later. Just make it out to the Committee Accessing Special History, but you can just use the first letters of each word.

Robert Lincoln loved to play golf. In 1901 he was an entrant in the Ekwanok President's Cup golf tournament.

Where did Robert finish?

RE: Extra Credit Questions - Gene C - 09-27-2012 08:20 AM

At the 18th hole?

RE: Extra Credit Questions - RJNorton - 09-27-2012 08:55 AM

Yes, there is no WD or DQ after his name. So he finished. Where did his score rank in the tournament?

RE: Extra Credit Questions - Gene C - 09-27-2012 09:03 AM

What? I didn't win?

I'm not a golfer, to me WD means Winn Dixie and DQ is Dairy Queen

RE: Extra Credit Questions - Rob Wick - 09-27-2012 09:51 AM

I'm going to guess it was last place, since that's where I usually finish (given that there's no lower ranking).

Good enough, Rob. He finished second to last. You win one free round at the Ekwanok Country Club when you are in Manchester, Vt.

I might have gottton that if you spelled Equinox right. (Especially with my extensive knowledge about golf - not) I guess thats the old spelling.
(But who am I to complane about spelling?)

It is a beautiful place, especially when the leaves are changing color.

Sarah Bush Johnston Lincoln, Abraham Lincoln's stepmother, spent time in a jail.

Why?

RE: Extra Credit Questions - Gene C - 10-01-2012 09:07 AM

Debts?

RE: Extra Credit Questions - RJNorton - 10-01-2012 09:12 AM

Good try, Gene, but that's not it.

RE: Extra Credit Questions - Rob Wick - 10-01-2012 09:28 AM

Because her first husband was appointed jailer in Hardin County, Kentucky and she cooked for the inmates and cleaned the place.

Well done, Rob. That's it.

Your prize: one totally free night at Marion.

RE: Extra Credit Questions - LincolnMan - 10-01-2012 09:46 AM

Cooked for the inmates and cleaned the jail? Reminds me of Aunt Bea bringing something in for Andy, Barney, and Otis. My, how times have changed.
