RE: Presidents and First Ladies Trivia - RJNorton - 06-12-2014
Excellent guess, Gene, but it's not "Silent Cal."
RE: Presidents and First Ladies Trivia - RJNorton - 06-12-2014
Hint #1: A chicken.
RE: Presidents and First Ladies Trivia - RJNorton - 06-12-2014
Hint #2: A car.
Hint #2.5: A pot.
RE: Presidents and First Ladies Trivia - Gene C - 06-12-2014
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
Good job, Gene! It is Herbert Hoover. You win the chicken, but not the car.
RE: Presidents and First Ladies Trivia - Eva Elisabeth - 06-28-2014
Whose eyeglasses were these?
RE: Presidents and First Ladies Trivia - RJNorton - 06-28-2014
Lucretia Garfield?
RE: Presidents and First Ladies Trivia - Eva Elisabeth - 06-28-2014
Good guess, Roger, but not hers.
RE: Presidents and First Ladies Trivia - Eva Elisabeth - 06-28-2014
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
Lou Hoover.
RE: Presidents and First Ladies Trivia - Eva Elisabeth - 06-28-2014
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
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.
RE: Presidents and First Ladies Trivia - Anita - 07-01-2014
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.
