Good guess, Betty. But it's not him. John Surratt outlived this man by about 11 years.

You got it, Jim. It is Lew Wallace. Kudos.

You win one free dinner at the Wok and Roll Restaurant. Simply tell the waiter or waitress you got this question right.

Roger, it is funny that you awarded that; my wife is going out of town this weekend and I had planned to go there!

I'll take some money just in case the waiter or waitress hasn't heard of my award!!!
