RE: Presidents and First Ladies Trivia - Eva Elisabeth - 01-01-2014
Sorry, Roger, not him! Ein gutes neues Jahr, BTW!
Hint #1: The century is correct!
RE: Presidents and First Ladies Trivia - Eva Elisabeth - 01-01-2014
Hint #2: One of his former professions was being a teacher.
RE: Presidents and First Ladies Trivia - RJNorton - 01-01-2014
Chester Arthur?
RE: Presidents and First Ladies Trivia - Rogerm - 01-01-2014
Was it either John Adams or John Quincy Adams?
RE: Presidents and First Ladies Trivia - Eva Elisabeth - 01-01-2014
Good guesses from both of you, but it was none of these presidents. Although all three spoke Latin, and J.Q.A. also spoke Greek.
Roger (N.), you are VERY close.

Then I'll guess James Garfield.
RE: Presidents and First Ladies Trivia - Eva Elisabeth - 01-01-2014
This is correct, Roger! Very good!
You win Garfield's New Year philosophy:
...well, the first day of the new year probably deserves a more dignified prize, voilà:

I wonder if that gentleman had also said to the lady: "I want to dance with you the worst way"?
RE: Presidents and First Ladies Trivia - RJNorton - 01-03-2014
Which First Lady told her son, "Your ignorance of politics is not a grave offense. You could not expect to know and enjoy politics as I do."
RE: Presidents and First Ladies Trivia - Eva Elisabeth - 01-03-2014
Sounds like 19th century, so I guess Dolly Madison.
RE: Presidents and First Ladies Trivia - RJNorton - 01-03-2014
Good try, Eva, as you are in the right century. But it wasn't her (she?).
RE: Presidents and First Ladies Trivia - Eva Elisabeth - 01-03-2014
Ok, I'll try Julia Grant then.
RE: Presidents and First Ladies Trivia - RJNorton - 01-03-2014
Nope, not her.
Hint #1: The prize for this is one 64 oz. carton of lemonade.
RE: Presidents and First Ladies Trivia - L Verge - 01-03-2014
Abigail Adams?
RE: Presidents and First Ladies Trivia - RJNorton - 01-03-2014
Nope, not her.
Hint #2: The prize has been raised to two 64 oz. cartons of delicious ice cold lemonade.
RE: Presidents and First Ladies Trivia - L Verge - 01-03-2014
Lemonade Lucy Hayes?
