Is it Gustavus Vasa Fox, assistant secretary of the Navy?

[RJNorton]

Excellent guess, David, but it is not Gustavus Vasa Fox.

[ReignetteC]

John Hay?

[RJNorton]

Very good, Reignette. That is indeed John Hay (circa 1902). Good job!

(Thanks to Laurie who suggested the idea for this trivia question.)

I subscribe to a website on the history of Washington, D.C., and the latest email announces a new book by White House historian, William Seale, entitled The Imperial Season about the city at the time of the first real onslaught of ambassadors. The picture of Mr. Hay appears on both the website and in Mr. Seale's book.

Some folks just always retain a "familiar face" throughout the aging process and Hay's is an example of such. (Although he lost his trim physique.)

[Eva Elisabeth]

Leonard Swett?

[RJNorton]

Good try, Eva, but it's not him.

[Rogerm]

Is it Joshua Speed?

[RJNorton]

Good try, Roger, but it isn't him.

[Eva Elisabeth]

Thomas Gourlay at older age?

[RJNorton]

Another good try, Eva. Not him. Roger's guess is the closest so far.

[RJNorton]

I am sorry, Eva, but it's not him. Roger's guess is still the closest.
