RE: Presidents and First Ladies Trivia - Eva Elisabeth - 04-28-2015
W. Wilson?
RE: Presidents and First Ladies Trivia - RJNorton - 04-28-2015
Kudos, Eva! Indeed it was Woodrow Wilson. The doorway was created with the help of the Secret Service.
You win one free ticket to any show of your choice at any theater of your choice (i.e. it doesn't have to be in Germany).
RE: Presidents and First Ladies Trivia - Eva Elisabeth - 04-28-2015
What a fantastic prize!!! Is there perhaps a ticket for this one in the prize vault?
http://metopera.org/metopera/season/abt/la-bayadere
As for shows, attending an ABT performance at the Met as well as seeing "La Bayadere" both rank top on my once-in-lifetime bucket list, so this would cover two-in-one...
"Amid the sweeping vistas and grand temples of mystical India, this great Russian classic is a glorious epic of eternal love and godly revenge" - and the music is great, too. Just to give you an impression, this is the magnificent last production the great Rudolf Nurejew staged at the Paris Opera:

RE: Presidents and First Ladies Trivia - Eva Elisabeth - 04-28-2015
Thanks - unfortunately my magic carpet is in the shop, so I'm afraid I won't make it in time...
RE: Presidents and First Ladies Trivia - RJNorton - 06-05-2015
Speaking about men, which First Lady said:
"Men are such a combination of good and bad."
RE: Presidents and First Ladies Trivia - Rogerm - 06-05-2015
Was it Abigail Adams?
RE: Presidents and First Ladies Trivia - RJNorton - 06-05-2015
That's sure a good guess, Roger, but it was not her.
RE: Presidents and First Ladies Trivia - Gene C - 06-05-2015
Hillary Clinton?
RE: Presidents and First Ladies Trivia - L Verge - 06-05-2015
It sounds like something Hillary had reason to say, but drawing on the same logic that Gene used, I'm going to guess Jackie Kennedy?
RE: Presidents and First Ladies Trivia - Eva Elisabeth - 06-05-2015
Eleanor Roosevelt?
RE: Presidents and First Ladies Trivia - RJNorton - 06-05-2015
Good guesses Gene and Eva, but Laurie got it. Kudos, Laurie. Indeed this was a quote from Jackie Kennedy. It was in an article by Theodore H. White in Life magazine (December 6, 1963).
Laurie, you win best wishes for a wonderful weekend!

Thank you. It's my grandson's 15th birthday weekend, so it's always wonderful to spend time with him.
RE: Presidents and First Ladies Trivia - Eva Elisabeth - 06-05-2015
Best wishes to Aaron!

Let's try one more First Lady comment about men.
Which First Lady said:
"I have always been surrounded by handsome men."
