RE: Extra Credit Questions - Rogerm - 06-07-2013
In trying to answer Eva's question, I cheated and looked it up on Google. There, I found that a certain Justin Harlin, from Illinois, was appointed by Lincoln as Agent to the Cherokees. What was this all about?
RE: Extra Credit Questions - Eva Elisabeth - 06-07-2013
Roger, could it be that your man was appointed in 1863? Anyway, I asked for the person who begged for another one's appointment, not for the appointee himself, maybe the wording was misleading.
RE: Extra Credit Questions - Rogerm - 06-07-2013
You are probably right, Eva.
RE: Extra Credit Questions - RJNorton - 06-08-2013
On April 4, 1854, who was elected mayor of Springfield?
RE: Extra Credit Questions - Eva Elisabeth - 06-08-2013
Wasn't Herndon once Mayor of Springfield? Was it in 1854?
RE: Extra Credit Questions - RJNorton - 06-08-2013
Correct, Eva! Very good. That was the year William Herndon was elected mayor of Springfield.
RE: Extra Credit Questions - Eva Elisabeth - 06-08-2013
(I wonder if Herr Beckert will be so kind to add this to my score...)
RE: Extra Credit Questions - J. Beckert - 06-08-2013
Kein Problem, süße Sache.
Germans 2
Yankees 0
RE: Extra Credit Questions - Laurie Verge - 06-08-2013
Just one question: Is Herr Beckert now going to be a Yankee or a German in these scorings??
RE: Extra Credit Questions - J. Beckert - 06-08-2013
I'm actually both, Laurie, but I'm going with whomever's winning here. I'm tired of being the Rebel's pinata.
Gesundheit.

You never swung to the Rebel side and left us alone when we were thoroughly beating you!!!
Since I didn't sneeze - what else can Gesundheit mean?

Quote:You never swung to the Rebel side and left us alone when we were thoroughly beating you!!!
It's only me over there! I can't switch sides!! Who would keep you up guessing at night, refusing to surrender to the damn Yankees yet again?
Gesundheit means "health".
RE: Extra Credit Questions - Laurie Verge - 06-08-2013
And all this time, I thought Gesundheit meant God bless you. Thanks for the lesson - and the good wish for health.
RE: Extra Credit Questions - Eva Elisabeth - 06-08-2013
Peace! I withdraw. One war at a time is possibly enough for Mr. Beckert...(although it was really nice, especially the sweet-talk...)
RE: Extra Credit Questions - L Verge - 06-08-2013
Oh, don't withdraw, Eva. Trust me, Yankee Joe can take a lot of "abuse" and hand it right back to you! It would be like a day without sunshine if we weren't sparring with each other. Despite that, we are good friends.
