The last time I checked, Gene, Hillary lost the election (god bless the Electoral College!).

Jerry, does strawberry blonde count? Both Washington and Jefferson qualify if it does, but the sources I googled seemed to be guessing that it was either Van Buren on Benjamin Harrison.

No strawberry blondes need apply. I was looking for Van Buren

RE: Extra Credit Questions
I was just going to guess van Buren (read the question earlier this day but couldn't post) because he was Dutch... (meeting the cliché of Frau Antje who has advertised Dutch dairies for decades...

RE: Extra Credit Questions
If Van Buren had been a blonde, is this actually a portrait of Van Buren as a younger man or not?

(This isn't meant as a trivia question, I'm honestly confused about the portrait.)

RE: Extra Credit Questions
Well, I've seen all shades of brown being declared as blonde by the hair "owners" (all female). (Nope, doesn't look blonde to me either!)

Maybe the hair that used to be there was blonde?
So when is this "Old Enough To Know Better" supposed to kick in?

Excellent, Steve. Yes, this is Mary Lincoln's bed. It was in her room when she was at Bellevue Place in 1875. Nowadays it's at the Depot Museum in Batavia, Illinois.

I knew it wasn't the death room at the Petersen House, but the furniture arrangement reminded me of it.

RE: Extra Credit Questions
Four Universities can boast that among their graduates is a President and a Superbowl winning quarterback. Can you name any of them?

Stanford University graduate, Herbert Hoover, was a very unpopular president because his economic policies are blamed for the Great Depression. Also, Stanford grad, John Elway, quarterbacked the Denver Broncos to two Superbowl championships.

Bingo - That was one of the difficult ones since Hoover was forgettable.
