or smoking pot in a car with a chicken

Herbert Hoover or Bill Clinton?

Good job, Gene! It is Herbert Hoover. You win the chicken, but not the car.

Whose eyeglasses were these?

Lucretia Garfield?

[Eva Elisabeth]

Good guess, Roger, but not hers.

[Eva Elisabeth]

Seems I have to guess, too, today. Well then: Was she born in the 19th century and did she die in the 20th?

Hint#1: Excellent guess, yes. (Actually she died exactly 30 years before I was born.)

[RJNorton]

Lou Hoover.

Brilliant, Roger! That is correct. Thanks for guessing.

After Lincoln's death Mary wore black morning clothes until she died. There was however a day she made an exception. When was it?

It was Tad's birthday. I don't remember which, but it was one of the last ones before he died. She wore a black silk dress instead, at his request.

[Anita]

Toia, you are correct. The exception was for Tad's 18th birthday. Your prize is a choice of flowers for your hair and fabric in your choice of bold blue, magenta, canary yellow or royal purple- some of Mary's favorites.
