You got it, Wild Bill! Your prize is to ride Orb in the Preakness!

RE: Assassination Trivia
How many of you know that GATH bought property in the mountains of Maryland after the war and built an estate named Gathland? On that estate, he built a large memorial arch to war correspondents. The arch and land and now part of the Maryland State Parks system.

RE: Assassination Trivia
Bill, from my unfortunate experience, please take Betty's advice. Do not think like John Velazquez - ride Orb and not Verrazano.

RE: Assassination Trivia
I went to Gathland State Park today. Here are a few images of the War Correspondents' Arch:

I would recommend a cool day when the gnats are not out, though. (You can see Dudley and I sneaked into a picture.) |

RE: Assassination Trivia
I have never seen that before, that's impressive.
So when is this "Old Enough To Know Better" supposed to kick in? |

RE: Assassination Trivia
We had hoped to include that in a Sunday trip for the 2017 Surratt Conference, but we had to change things around. Maybe next year. I think Bob Allen did a great article on George Alfred Townshend for the Courier a year or so ago.

RE: Assassination Trivia
I cannot off the top of my head come up with a name, but the skyline looks London to me. Did J. Benjamin board this ship?

RE: Assassination Trivia
Eva and Blaine, those are excellent guesses by both of you folks, but neither one is correct.

RE: Assassination Trivia
Drives me nuts to brooding about that background. What I thought St. Paul's - could it be the Capitol, hence DC? Or NYC, regarding the skyscrapers?
