If I pass on, they're all yours, Gene! Just make sure if you win, you gloat and rub it in. Just like I would have!

Eva, thanks for the point even though I didn't get the location. I was totally unaware there was a monument like this in Oakland. Never heard of it before. Great question!
RE: Trivia Advent Calendar - Eva Elisabeth - 12-22-2015
Thanks, Roger, I'm glad y'all liked the question! The point is well deserved because you delivered the keywords to Google the place - if I enter "remember - Abraham Lincoln - Churchill - statue - leaders", the monument will show up in 5th position.

Can I have your points then?
Sorry Gene, I call dibs!

Second to last task, #23 - whose was this?
RE: Trivia Advent Calendar - Thomas Kearney - 12-22-2015
It looks like a sink. I think it was Robert Lincoln's????
RE: Trivia Advent Calendar - J. Beckert - 12-22-2015
Robert Todd Lincoln's
RE: Trivia Advent Calendar - L Verge - 12-22-2015
White House chef's?
RE: Trivia Advent Calendar - Eva Elisabeth - 12-22-2015
Kudos to both of you, Thomas and Joe!
Well, I thought that could turn out to be a quick one (but I just couldn't leave out Hildene). I prepared a second question in case that would realize. Please hold the line...

Mary Harlan Lincoln's?

#23b - what/who hides here?

Geez...Abraham Lincoln on a $5 bill inside some lady's purse?
RE: Trivia Advent Calendar - Eva Elisabeth - 12-22-2015
Well observed that this is some lady, Laurie. Lincoln was certainly not on any bill in her purse though.

If you want to get technical, a domestic servant probably used that sink more than anyone else.
