RE: Who is this person? - Eva Elisabeth - 08-17-2014
Good idea, Roger, but, sorry, it's not Ninian Edwards!
RE: Who is this person? - Eva Elisabeth - 08-17-2014
Hint #1: You might be more familiar with his property than with his likeness.
Hint #2: He was a wholesale grocer.
RE: Who is this person? - J. Beckert - 08-17-2014
Rollie Diller's father?
RE: Who is this person? - Eva Elisabeth - 08-17-2014
Very smart, Herr Beckert! I'm sorry to say no - not he.
Hint #2: This gentleman lived in Virginia, and was once sort of plundered by Unionists. (He was given money though, but without having agreed to the "deal").
RE: Who is this person? - RJNorton - 08-17-2014
Wild guess - Nicholas Austin Quesenberry? (Mrs. Quesenberry's deceased husband)
RE: Who is this person? - Eva Elisabeth - 08-17-2014
Another excellent guess, Roger! Well, hint #2 refers to something that had happened some time before the assassination.
RE: Who is this person? - Eva Elisabeth - 08-17-2014
Hint #3: More than once this gentleman provided (his private) facilities for military purpose.
Hint #4: On the hint#2 occasion, he was (most likely) given 60$ for two tables (some sources would sum up to 75$).
RE: Who is this person? - J. Beckert - 08-17-2014
Wilmer McLean. What did I win?
RE: Who is this person? - Eva Elisabeth - 08-17-2014
Very good, Joe! This is correct.

No dancing around the point and elaborate sugar coating. So, what do you want - jewelry, sports cars, family homes? Well, I just checked the prize vault, and unfortunately this all is out of stock. Please let me know what else instead will be appreciated.
RE: Who is this person? - J. Beckert - 08-17-2014
For my prize, next time I see you, we will do The German Happy Dance! Yah?

Yah!!!

OMG, don't dislocate your hips, Joe. This looks dangerous for a guy your age.

That German Happy Dance looks awfully similar to the American Jitterbug of the 1940s and 50s...

I know, Roger. Something would definitely break. Painfully too, no doubt. Maybe we'll just do the Mildly Amused German Dance, Eva.
RE: Who is this person? - RJNorton - 09-05-2014
What is this man's name?
