The son or daughter of David Derickson?


RE: Tough Tarbell Trivia - Rob Wick - 11-21-2012 01:11 PM

I knew that would do it. You're right Roger. It was C.M. Derickson, the son of David Derickson.

You win a week's stay with the Bucktails regiment. Just find someone with a time machine. Big Grin

Dear Rob,

I began to think my reply was definitely incorrect, so I deleted it. I will try to think of another reply.

Sincerely,
Otto

I know the veracity of the William Scott ("Sleeping Sentinel") story has been questioned, but is it him?

Sorry Roger. It wasn't Scott.
