If I pass on, they're all yours, Gene! Just make sure if you win, you gloat and rub it in. Just like I would have!

Eva, thanks for the point even though I didn't get the location. I was totally unaware there was a monument like this in Oakland. Never heard of it before. Great question!

Thanks, Roger, I'm glad y'all liked the question! The point is well deserved because you delivered the keywords to Google the place - if I enter "remember - Abraham Lincoln - Churchill - statue - leaders", the monument will show up in 5th position.

Can I have your points then?
Sorry Gene, I call dibs!

Second to last task, #23 - whose was this?

It looks like a sink. I think it was Robert Lincoln's????
RE: Trivia Advent Calendar - J. Beckert - 12-22-2015 07:12 PM
Robert Todd Lincoln's

White House chef's?
RE: Trivia Advent Calendar - Eva Elisabeth - 12-22-2015 07:19 PM
Kudos to both of you, Thomas and Joe!

Well, I thought that could turn out to be a quick one (but I just couldn't leave out Hildene). I prepared a second question in case that would realize. Please hold the line...

Mary Harlan Lincoln's?

#23b - what/who hides here?

Geez...Abraham Lincoln on a $5 bill inside some lady's purse?
RE: Trivia Advent Calendar - Eva Elisabeth - 12-22-2015 07:28 PM
Well observed that this is some lady, Laurie. Lincoln was certainly not on any bill in her purse though.

If you want to get technical, a domestic servant probably used that sink more than anyone else.
