Jim, in a very general sense, you are on the right track.

Hint #2: Our clubhouse has no pool/billiards tables.

Chess? Cards?

RE: Assassination Trivia - RJNorton - 09-11-2015 06:32 AM

That's it, Eva! He was playing cards. Good job.

I would give you a one week, all expenses paid trip to Las Vegas, but I cannot afford that. So you will have to settle for very best wishes for a wonderful late-summer weekend in Germany.

Thanks, Roger - thanks, that's always great prize!!!

RE: Assassination Trivia - Eva Elisabeth - 09-11-2015 12:13 PM

Who is this gentleman?

RE: Assassination Trivia - RJNorton - 09-11-2015 02:04 PM

The earliest known photo of George Cottingham?

RE: Assassination Trivia - Eva Elisabeth - 09-11-2015 02:27 PM

Great guess, Roger, but, sorry, not correct.

RE: Assassination Trivia - RJNorton - 09-11-2015 02:47 PM

Dr. Charles Urquhart, Jr?

RE: Assassination Trivia - Eva Elisabeth - 09-11-2015 03:15 PM

Another excellent guess, Roger, but it's not he either.

RE: Assassination Trivia - Eva Elisabeth - 09-11-2015 04:33 PM

Hint #1: His name lately occured on the forum.

RE: Assassination Trivia - L Verge - 09-11-2015 09:36 PM

I have never seen this particular photo, but the facial features remind me of a ca. 1935 photo that was taken of Floyd Risvold, the editor of Weichmann's manuscript.

RE: Assassination Trivia - Eva Elisabeth - 09-12-2015 04:14 AM

Kudos, Laurie - you nailed it. I was sure this would need longer.

When you asked about his business and his publishing intentions I wanted to know more about him, too, but this is almost the only info I found:

The photo is from this obituary:

As for the prize - would an expedition to the West, Southwest, or Alaska be appropriate?

RE: Assassination Trivia - RJNorton - 09-12-2015 05:34 AM

Wow - I think I could have guessed 200+ times and not answered correctly! Never thought of this man. Good job, Laurie, and good question, Eva!

RE: Assassination Trivia - L Verge - 09-12-2015 02:15 PM

I am very poor at identifying and remembering photo-faces. I'm not sure why this one clicked. Eva, I would love to see the Grand Canyon with Wild Bill as my guide. I'll add the prize to my bucket list for when I finally decide to retire. Thank you.

A person who is part of the Lincoln assassination saga became quite ill at this location. Who was he or she?
