RE: Extra Credit Questions
You are correct, Rob.
I have currently run out of prizes, so I will send you the same amount of cash as last time. Hopefully, the Teachers' Retirement System of the State of Illinois is in better shape than what I've been hearing, and my pension checks will keep on arriving. |

RE: Extra Credit Questions
You can always write me a check, and I can fill in the amount later. Just make it out to the Committee Accessing Special History, but you can just use the first letters of each word.

Robert Lincoln loved to play golf. In 1901 he was an entrant in the Ekwanok President's Cup golf tournament.

Yes, there is no WD or DQ after his name. So he finished. Where did his score rank in the tournament?

RE: Extra Credit Questions
I'm going to guess it was last place, since that's where I usually finish (given that there's no lower ranking).

RE: Extra Credit Questions
Good enough, Rob. He finished second to last. You win one free round at the Ekwanok Country Club when you are in Manchester, Vt.

Because her first husband was appointed jailer in Hardin County, Kentucky and she cooked for the inmates and cleaned the place.

RE: Extra Credit Questions
Cooked for the inmates and cleaned the jail? Reminds me of Aunt Bea bringing something in for Andy, Barney, and Otis. My, how times have changed.
