Johnson did remain at the Kirkwood House for his residence, Betty, but he needed more space and a more professional atmosphere for his office.
Joe, you are close. Think about what's on the other side of the White House.

Didn't they create space for him in a conference room at the Treasury dept.?
RE: Extra Credit Questions - Laurie Verge - 09-11-2012 03:30 PM
You are correct, Mr. Smyth. There's a plaque on the door at the Treasury Department today noting that, I believe. For your prize, you get to spend the night unchaperoned in the Bureau of Printing and Engraving in D.C.
RE: Extra Credit Questions - Rsmyth - 09-11-2012 04:09 PM
Thank you. Are the bathrooms open?
RE: Extra Credit Questions - RJNorton - 09-11-2012 04:37 PM
No bathrooms. Don't drink any fluids after 11:00 A.M. Pretend you're doing a prep for a colonoscopy.

Joe, I've had 3 of them, and I know what happens. I was just testing Rich to see if he had the self control to stay with all that money and ignore any other "urges."
RE: Extra Credit Questions - RJNorton - 09-11-2012 05:25 PM
What is the name of the photographer who lent Lincoln his coat prior to taking his picture?

And I was having flashbacks about the prep.

One of my favorite stories about Lincoln at a photography studio--it was Samuel G. Alschuler, a Bavarian immigrant, in April 1858. Lincoln had been wearing an old linen duster (perhaps white?) and Alschuler loaned him his very short coat--Lincoln's arns stuck way out of the sleeves, much to Lincoln's delight. Alschuler also took the first "bearded" Lincoln in November, 1860.

Yea, Joe! You got another one. Kudos!
I keep giving away all my photos. You win a photograph of Abraham Lincoln's sister, Sarah, taken on her wedding day - August 2, 1826.

Who wrote this?
"Mr. Lincoln did propose marriage to me in the winter of 1840 and 41..."
RE: Extra Credit Questions - Rob Wick - 09-22-2012 10:18 AM
Joshua Speed? (Sorry, I couldn't resist).
Mary Owen?
Best
Rob
RE: Extra Credit Questions - LincolnMan - 09-22-2012 10:53 AM
Has to be Mary Owen?
RE: Extra Credit Questions - Gene C - 09-22-2012 11:37 AM
Mary Todd
RE: Extra Credit Questions - RJNorton - 09-22-2012 01:17 PM
Sorry, but none of those people is (are? help, Laurie) correct.
