RE: Extra Credit Questions - J. Beckert - 01-03-2013
It's amazing the changes the theater has gone through in 147 years. The windows were enlarged at some point and the only two originals are the two closest to Taltavul's. The others were returned to their original size during the restoration, but in reality, the only thing original about Ford's are the facade and the two side walls. You've got me thinking again, Jerry. Why the whitewash? Maybe, like in barns, it was easily re-whitewashed every so often to easily keep it clean looking? I'm thinking that was the reasoning.

Bill, I think that photo was taken in Springfield in 1860. Lloyd Ostendorf says summer of that year, photographer unknown.
RE: Extra Credit Questions - LincolnMan - 01-04-2013
Thanks Betty! (not too bad for an old guy).
Roger, you are correct. The photographer is unknown. The picture is thought to have been taken in the summer of 1860. Location: probably Springfield.
RE: Extra Credit Questions - RJNorton - 01-06-2013
Who are these folks?

RE: Extra Credit Questions - Rob Wick - 01-06-2013
Frederick Hill Meserve and Dorothy Meserve Kunhardt?

RE: Extra Credit Questions - RJNorton - 01-06-2013
Rob, you got one right. The gentleman is Frederick Hill Meserve.
RE: Extra Credit Questions - Rob Wick - 01-06-2013
I would assume his wife, then. However, I don't know her name.

Rob
RE: Extra Credit Questions - RJNorton - 01-06-2013
That's it, Rob, and she is Mrs. Meserve to me, too.
Frederick Hill Meserve received the degree of Doctor of Literature at Lincoln Memorial University in 1940, and the photo was taken that day.
RE: Extra Credit Questions - LincolnMan - 01-06-2013
There are living animals that were alive before Lincoln was born-name at least one.
RE: Extra Credit Questions - J. Beckert - 01-07-2013
It's not technically an "animal", but how about a tortoise?
RE: Extra Credit Questions - RJNorton - 01-07-2013
A certain kind of whale?
RE: Extra Credit Questions - LincolnMan - 01-07-2013
The tortoise and whale are correct answers! To think that certain of them were alive before Lincoln was even born is mind boggling.
RE: Extra Credit Questions - RJNorton - 01-09-2013
During his inaugural journey, Lincoln met a small boy.
He told the boy, "God Bless you, my son. Love God, obey your parents, and serve your country, and you will give the world cause to remember you."
Whom did Lincoln say this to?
(The Fehrenbachers give the quote a "C")
RE: Extra Credit Questions - ReignetteC - 01-09-2013
Roger,
It's John P. Goucher
I have a hard copy of a two-page article "The Gentleness of Abraham Lincoln," by the Rev. Edwin Whitter Caswell. I found it there.

RE: Extra Credit Questions - RJNorton - 01-09-2013
You got it, Reignette! Good job.
The prize vault is still empty, so I am afraid all you win is my very best wishes for a wonderful 2013.
