RE: Extra Credit Questions
I got lucky! I didn't remember that incident. I'll have to reread the inaugural trip history.
Have you ever seen a US President at an event or passing by in a motorcade? |

My father and I attended a speech that President Kennedy gave at a high school football stadium in Pueblo, CO in August of 1962.

I interviewed Bill Clinton (while he was still governor of Arkansas) and was in the audience of the first presidential debate in 1992 in St. Louis. While it was interesting to see something like that up close, the one thing I remember more is sitting next to Steve Roberts, who was doing commentary for NPR (and is the husband of the late Cokie Roberts). When he wasn't busy I said to him, "I really don't want to bother you, but I just wanted to let you know I love your wife." He smiled at me and said, "so do I."

In 1963 I watched JFK's funeral caisson approach the Capitol as I stood on the sidewalk on Pennsylvania Avenue. I was 16. Dad drove us downtown so we could watch it pass by. Never forgot the sight.

It's the parlor in the Edwards home where Mary and Lincoln were married?

Excellent, Anita! Yes, it's the Edwards' parlor where the Lincolns were married on November 4, 1842. The home no longer stands.

His entrepreneurial inspiration (shortly after a tragic death ... although there was no connection) had a major impact on the Civil War.

RE: Extra Credit Questions
No, sorry, Roger.
This person's name was mentioned in a Post by Gene. But with over 5000 posts by Gene I dont think that helps much. Regarded as a criminal by some ... the person whose image is above (not Gene). “The honest man, tho' e'er sae poor, Is king o' men for a' that” Robert Burns |

His shop sold toiletries, stationery, and souvenirs (including patriotic items that made jokes of the Confederates).

RE: Extra Credit Questions
It was asserted that this man did more damage to the Confederate cause than General McClennan and his army.
One of my earlier hints was that this man made a lot of money . To be more emphatic and specific .... He MADE a lot of "money". “The honest man, tho' e'er sae poor, Is king o' men for a' that” Robert Burns |
