RE: Tough Tarbell Trivia
Roger and Mike,
Sorry gentlemen, but neither is correct.. Best Rob Abraham Lincoln is the only man, dead or alive, with whom I could have spent five years without one hour of boredom. --Ida M. Tarbell
I want the respect of intelligent men, but I will choose for myself the intelligent. --Carl Sandburg

RE: Tough Tarbell Trivia
Sorry Roger, but that's not it.
First clue: It has nothing to do with Lincoln. Best Rob Abraham Lincoln is the only man, dead or alive, with whom I could have spent five years without one hour of boredom. --Ida M. Tarbell
I want the respect of intelligent men, but I will choose for myself the intelligent. --Carl Sandburg

RE: Tough Tarbell Trivia
Does it involve meeting someone whom she never could?

RE: Tough Tarbell Trivia
Sorry Roger, but it doesn't.
Next clue: It would eventually happen, but longer after Tarbell's death. Best Rob Abraham Lincoln is the only man, dead or alive, with whom I could have spent five years without one hour of boredom. --Ida M. Tarbell
I want the respect of intelligent men, but I will choose for myself the intelligent. --Carl Sandburg

RE: Tough Tarbell Trivia
I was going to guess marriage and a family, but I can see that's wrong. -
 so let's try, have someone (relative) named after her, or a building at a school named after her. So when is this "Old Enough To Know Better" supposed to kick in? |

RE: Tough Tarbell Trivia
Good guesses Gene, but neither is correct. Actually, there was a woman's dorm named after Tarbell at Allegheny College while she was still living. However, she refused to let the college name the library room with her Lincoln collection after her.

RE: Tough Tarbell Trivia
There is another writer involved, yes.

RE: Tough Tarbell Trivia
Maybe Carl Sandburg won an award that she was only granted posthumously?

RE: Tough Tarbell Trivia
Roger, that's a perfectly reasonable guess, but not correct.
Next clue: This helps to explain why Tarbell's papers are in two different archives. Best Rob Abraham Lincoln is the only man, dead or alive, with whom I could have spent five years without one hour of boredom. --Ida M. Tarbell

RE: Tough Tarbell Trivia
Next clue: Part of the reason Tarbell was unable to accomplish this was her fear of it "getting musty."

That's a good guess Susan, but that isn't it.

RE: Tough Tarbell Trivia
Guess it's time for another clue.
Tarbell talked about this in 1921 with none other than S.S. McClure, but nothing ever came of it. Best Rob Abraham Lincoln is the only man, dead or alive, with whom I could have spent five years without one hour of boredom. --Ida M. Tarbell
