RE: Presidents and First Ladies Trivia - Eva Elisabeth - 03-20-2014
Which president used to swim naked in the Potomac?
RE: Presidents and First Ladies Trivia - L Verge - 03-20-2014
I believe it was John Quincy Adams?
RE: Presidents and First Ladies Trivia - Eva Elisabeth - 03-20-2014
Excellent, Laurie, that is correct.
RE: Presidents and First Ladies Trivia - Eva Elisabeth - 03-21-2014
Whose pet parrot had to be taken away at the funeral because it was swearing?
RE: Presidents and First Ladies Trivia - L Verge - 03-21-2014
Andrew Jackson's
Back to J.Q. Adams - I truly am trying to find the answer to this. It seems to me that he had an unusual pet also, but I can't remember what it was.
RE: Presidents and First Ladies Trivia - Eva Elisabeth - 03-21-2014
Excellent again, Laurie! (Seems it makes no sense to ask questions from the book on the presidents I bought at the Portrait Gallery...)
RE: Presidents and First Ladies Trivia - L Verge - 03-21-2014
I remember these from a children's book that I bought for my grandson about ten years ago. I just can't remember the Adams pet. Someone else had a pair of tiger cubs given to them, but they had to be turned over to the zoo.
RE: Presidents and First Ladies Trivia - Eva Elisabeth - 03-21-2014
Er, it IS a children's book I bought...it's so nicely done that I just couldn't resist...
RE: Presidents and First Ladies Trivia - L Verge - 03-21-2014
If it's the same book, Aaron and I both loved it. I also cheated just now and googled Presidential pets. JQ Adams had a pet alligator that was given to him by Lafayette.
RE: Presidents and First Ladies Trivia - Eva Elisabeth - 03-21-2014
Lafayette was also at the NPG:
The book is entitled "Smart about the Presidents" (thought becoming smart even though through a children's book would do no harm, wouldn't it?)
RE: Presidents and First Ladies Trivia - RJNorton - 03-31-2014
Baseball is back! Which president attended the most baseball games?
RE: Presidents and First Ladies Trivia - Gene C - 03-31-2014
I'd guess George Bush W Bush since he was a managing general partner for several year for the Texas Rangers
RE: Presidents and First Ladies Trivia - RJNorton - 03-31-2014
Logical guess, Gene, but it's not him. He's in 9th place tied with Herbert Hoover (both of whom attended 9 games). The leader attended 16 games.
RE: Presidents and First Ladies Trivia - Eva Elisabeth - 03-31-2014
Richard Nixon? (I think at least he was a baseball fan.)
RE: Presidents and First Ladies Trivia - RJNorton - 03-31-2014
Good try, Eva, but it's not him. He is tied for 3rd with Eisenhower (both attended 13 games).
