RE: Extra Credit Questions
I did some "research" and discovered the answer, Roger, but I'll hold off to give others a chance.

RE: Extra Credit Questions
Ok, Rob. The prize is a night on the town with Denise Richards which you already have won previously. If a female member gets this question right I have arranged a night on the town with Johnny Depp as the prize.

Yeah, she kept talking about some guy named Charlie Sheen. Ruined the whole night for me.

RE: Extra Credit Questions
Don't know the answer, but "is" is correct. None is really "no one."

RE: Extra Credit Questions
Yes, Rich. Your guess of Sarah Rickard is correct. For those folks who have Herndon's Informants see p. 664 at the very top. It is in a letter she wrote Herndon.
You win a free dinner at Gautier's Restaurant with Denise Richards, a student of mine in Downers Grove, Illinois, in 1984. |

RE: Extra Credit Questions
Although books often differ on the exact details, Robert Lincoln was in the general proximity of three presidential assassinations.
Because of this, one author nicknamed him Jinxy McDeath. Who dubbed Robert as Jinxy McDeath? |

RE: Extra Credit Questions
My gosh, asked and answered in 7 minutes. I don't even have a prize ready. Kudos, Rob. Since I don't have a prize ready, I'll just send you cash.

RE: Extra Credit Questions
Cash is always good. In large bills, if you don't mind.

RE: Extra Credit Questions
In 1838 Lincoln included this sentence in a letter he wrote. To whom was he writing?
"I now have come to the conclusion never again to think of marrying and for the reason that I never could be satisfied with anyone who would be blockhead enough to have me." |
