RE: Who is this person? - Steve - 12-29-2018
John Edgar Burton?
RE: Who is this person? - Rob Wick - 12-29-2018
That's actually a very good guess, Steve, but it's not Burton.
Next clue. He began collecting in 1903

Samuel Sidney McClure or John Sanborn Phillips?
RE: Who is this person? - Rob Wick - 12-29-2018
Sorry Eva, but it's neither McClure nor Phillips.

James W. Bollinger?
RE: Who is this person? - Rob Wick - 12-29-2018
You got it Eva. It is James Wills Bollinger. His collection, while not in the same league as the "Big Five" was quite impressive. The collection now resides in the University of Iowa. Here is part of it.

If one types "James W. Bollinger" into Google, one of the first hits is an article on Bollinger's collecting.
Good job, Eva!

OK, now that I've figured out how to post pictures, here is another. Who is this couple? This could either be fairly easy or somewhat difficult.

RE: Who is this person? - AussieMick - 12-30-2018
any connection to the Roosevelt family?
RE: Who is this person? - Steve - 12-30-2018
Historians Ruth and James Randall
RE: Who is this person? - Rob Wick - 12-30-2018
Steve got it right. It is James and Ruth Painter Randall (albeit a younger James). I had a feeling it was too easy.

Yes, far too easy. Thats why I threw in the red herring about the Roosevelts.
RE: Who is this person? - Rob Wick - 01-01-2019
This person knew Carl Sandburg. Who is it?

RE: Who is this person? - RJNorton - 01-01-2019
Lloyd Lewis?
RE: Who is this person? - Rob Wick - 01-01-2019
Sorry Roger, but it's not Lewis. This person said on his initial meeting with Sandburg that there was nothing in him to suggest "incipient genius."

RE: Who is this person? - RJNorton - 01-01-2019
Frank Lloyd Wright?
