RE: Presidents and First Ladies Trivia - RJNorton - 09-17-2016
Which President (as ex-President) was once hospitalized in a hospital whose name was the same last name as his?
RE: Presidents and First Ladies Trivia - L Verge - 09-17-2016
If Garfield was ever hospitalized in D.C., I'll take a stab at that 'cause our city had a Garfield Hospital.
RE: Presidents and First Ladies Trivia - RJNorton - 09-17-2016
That is sure a good try, Laurie, but it's not Garfield.
RE: Presidents and First Ladies Trivia - Gene C - 09-17-2016
I was going to say General Eisenhower......General Hospital,
but you said last names.
I'll guess Mt Sinai Roosevelt Hospital (New York) and FDR. No scratch that, you said ex President.
Truman Medical Center and Harry Truman. And that's my final answer.
Maybe.
RE: Presidents and First Ladies Trivia - RJNorton - 09-17-2016
Good job, Gene! You are half right. You have the right hospital in New York. So who was the ex-President who was hospitalized there?
RE: Presidents and First Ladies Trivia - Gene C - 09-17-2016
Teddy Roosevelt ?
RE: Presidents and First Ladies Trivia - RJNorton - 09-17-2016
Yes, Gene! On November 11, 1918, former President Teddy Roosevelt was admitted to that hospital. You win, Gene!
RE: Presidents and First Ladies Trivia - Gene C - 09-17-2016
Well all this talk about hospitals reminds me of a song

RE: Presidents and First Ladies Trivia - RJNorton - 09-19-2016
"Sir, I wish you to understand the true principles of the government. I wish them carried out. I ask nothing more."
These were the last words of a President. Who said these words?
RE: Presidents and First Ladies Trivia - Eva Elisabeth - 09-19-2016
Sounds early 19th century, and someone who died in office. Harrison?
RE: Presidents and First Ladies Trivia - RJNorton - 09-19-2016
Excellent, Eva. It was William Henry Harrison. It is not known to whom these words were directed. My source suggests the words were meant for John Tyler (not present in the bedroom at the time), but it's just a guess.
You win, Eva!
RE: Presidents and First Ladies Trivia - Wild Bill - 09-19-2016
I bet he said them to Henry Clay
RE: Presidents and First Ladies Trivia - RJNorton - 09-19-2016
Sure could be, Bill. Wasn't Clay actually still considered the (acknowledged) Whig Party leader despite not being the party's Presidential nominee?
RE: Presidents and First Ladies Trivia - RJNorton - 10-18-2016
This girl later became a First Lady. Who is she?
