Excellent guess, Gene, but it's not "Silent Cal."


RE: Presidents and First Ladies Trivia - RJNorton - 06-12-2014 03:50 PM

Hint #1: A chicken.


RE: Presidents and First Ladies Trivia - RJNorton - 06-12-2014 04:44 PM

Hint #2: A car.

Hint #2.5: A pot.


RE: Presidents and First Ladies Trivia - Gene C - 06-12-2014 04:51 PM

It either has something to do with a chicken in every pot and a car for every garage
or smoking pot in a car with a chicken

Herbert Hoover or Bill Clinton?


RE: Presidents and First Ladies Trivia - RJNorton - 06-12-2014 04:53 PM

Good job, Gene! It is Herbert Hoover. You win the chicken, but not the car.

Whose eyeglasses were these?

Lucretia Garfield?


RE: Presidents and First Ladies Trivia - Eva Elisabeth - 06-28-2014 06:54 AM

Good guess, Roger, but not hers.


RE: Presidents and First Ladies Trivia - Eva Elisabeth - 06-28-2014 12:30 PM

Seems I have to guess, too, today. Well then: Was she born in the 19th century and did she die in the 20th?

Hint#1: Excellent guess, yes. (Actually she died exactly 30 years before I was born.)


RE: Presidents and First Ladies Trivia - RJNorton - 06-28-2014 12:36 PM

Lou Hoover.


RE: Presidents and First Ladies Trivia - Eva Elisabeth - 06-28-2014 07:39 PM

Brilliant, Roger! That is correct. Thanks for guessing.

After Lincoln's death Mary wore black morning clothes until she died. There was however a day she made an exception. When was it?


RE: Presidents and First Ladies Trivia - Gene C - 07-01-2014 01:38 PM

Robert's wedding day?

It was Tad's birthday. I don't remember which, but it was one of the last ones before he died. She wore a black silk dress instead, at his request.

Toia, you are correct. The exception was for Tad's 18th birthday. Your prize is a choice of flowers for your hair and fabric in your choice of bold blue, magenta, canary yellow or royal purple- some of Mary's favorites.
