Thanks Roger, although half the time I can't remember where I put my glasses.

RE: Who Said This?
Who said this?
"Just before my birth my mother had them remove her into the log part of the house. She wanted me to be born in a log house. She had read the life of Lincoln. So I got the log house end of it OK. All I need now is the other qualifications." So when is this "Old Enough To Know Better" supposed to kick in? |

RE: Who Said This?
Yes, Eva.
This person had a very popular newspaper column and also ran for President of the United States. Not D W Griffin, but our mystery person was in three movies directed by John Ford So when is this "Old Enough To Know Better" supposed to kick in? |

RE: Who Said This?
Very good Rogerm
It was Will Rogers - a very unique person, Here is a little more about him from wikipedia. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Will_Rogers Here are just a few Will Rogers quotes from the "Here Are Just a Few Will Rogers Quotes" web site https://www.willrogers.com/quotes Your prize for the correct answer is the enjoyment from listening to this song, The Ballad of Will Roger by Chris LeDoux https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LBQuz97b5f4 So when is this "Old Enough To Know Better" supposed to kick in? |
