I got lucky! I didn't remember that incident. I'll have to reread the inaugural trip history.
Have you ever seen a US President at an event or passing by in a motorcade?
RE: Extra Credit Questions - Rogerm - 03-29-2022 07:54 PM
My father and I attended a speech that President Kennedy gave at a high school football stadium in Pueblo, CO in August of 1962.

I interviewed Bill Clinton (while he was still governor of Arkansas) and was in the audience of the first presidential debate in 1992 in St. Louis. While it was interesting to see something like that up close, the one thing I remember more is sitting next to Steve Roberts, who was doing commentary for NPR (and is the husband of the late Cokie Roberts). When he wasn't busy I said to him, "I really don't want to bother you, but I just wanted to let you know I love your wife." He smiled at me and said, "so do I."
Best
Rob

In 1963 I watched JFK's funeral caisson approach the Capitol as I stood on the sidewalk on Pennsylvania Avenue. I was 16. Dad drove us downtown so we could watch it pass by. Never forgot the sight.

It's the parlor in the Edwards home where Mary and Lincoln were married?
RE: Extra Credit Questions - RJNorton - 05-02-2022 12:49 PM
Excellent, Anita! Yes, it's the Edwards' parlor where the Lincolns were married on November 4, 1842. The home no longer stands.

Who was this person?
[attachment=3412]
He was briefly mentioned on this forum ... several years ago.
RE: Extra Credit Questions - AussieMick - 06-29-2022 08:23 AM
His entrepreneurial inspiration (shortly after a tragic death ... although there was no connection) had a major impact on the Civil War.
RE: Extra Credit Questions - RJNorton - 06-29-2022 02:12 PM
Richard Gatling?
RE: Extra Credit Questions - AussieMick - 06-29-2022 05:56 PM
No, sorry, Roger.
This person's name was mentioned in a Post by Gene. But with over 5000 posts by Gene I dont think that helps much.
Regarded as a criminal by some ... the person whose image is above (not Gene).
RE: Extra Credit Questions - AussieMick - 06-29-2022 07:03 PM
He had a shop close to the birthplace of the USA.
RE: Extra Credit Questions - AussieMick - 06-29-2022 08:35 PM
He made a lot of money.
RE: Extra Credit Questions - AussieMick - 06-29-2022 11:29 PM
His shop sold toiletries, stationery, and souvenirs (including patriotic items that made jokes of the Confederates).
RE: Extra Credit Questions - AussieMick - 06-30-2022 06:08 AM
It was asserted that this man did more damage to the Confederate cause than General McClennan and his army.
One of my earlier hints was that this man made a lot of money .
To be more emphatic and specific ....
He MADE a lot of "money".
