RE: Just Trivia
Woops !!! Sorry Roger and congrats to you Roger and to Laurie ... I missed your second answer, Roger (Tad or Willie).
Yes, William (Willie) Wallace Lincoln. My only excuse is that I myself initially confused William and Robert. I must have double-checked 20 times that it was William who asked for a quarter and got 5 cents. many thanks to Laurie for persistence and for pursuing along the lines of 'there is something not quite right here' philosophy. http://americanaejournal.hu/vol6no1/watson-berger "Lincoln had a way with children, his own and others. It was he and not Mrs. Lincoln who seemed to understand the children. One day while talking with the press, Willie rushed into the President’s office saying he needed a quarter. Lincoln replied “I can’t let you have a quarter. I can only spare five cents.” The President put five pennies on his desk but Willie refused it and ran out of the office. “He will be back after that in a few minutes,” Lincoln observed to the newspapermen. “As soon as he finds I will give him no more, he will come and get it.” As predicted, a little while later, Willie came in and quietly put the money in his pocket, leaving without saying a thing (Thomas 1954, 232)." The Tibetan word clue was 'Bardo' ('Lincoln in the Bardo' ... I havent read the book though). And yes William Wallace was Braveheart. He fought "Proud Edward's Army" but I think The Scots National Anthem 'Flower of Scotland' is praising Robert The Bruce who came after William Wallace and who beat Edward at Bannockburn. Oh, and I really wanted to mention that Robert was at the death of one President, present when another was shot, and was just too late to be there when another was shot. (Yes, Gus !!! You got there too.) “The honest man, tho' e'er sae poor, Is king o' men for a' that” Robert Burns |
