Alphabet Soup --

OK, so I didn't (don't!) doubt you and I won't use the Internet to game my guesses but I was curious about this one so I did a quick search. The first hit was this page:

I didn't get the question from that page, I have a section in my research from years ago that I put interesting trivia questions and answers.  Some of the other points in that internet article you found are in my lists totaling about 50 pages, so I won't be giving you any of those questions. ::oldman:: ::danceban:: ::hysterical::

You know - just as soon as I posted that I thought to myself "gosh, I hope none of those trivia points are part of his game"


No sweat Alphabet Soup - I've got plenty to bore y'all with.

After reading that I recall his civil war wounds, and the "Lemonade Lucy" story is probably the most often cited tidbit from his presidency.

Question # 19  [thought I posted last night - damn getting old is not for whimps, bad case of CRS].

This president was the first to deliver an inaugural address from the west front of the Capitol, facing the Washington Monument and the Lincoln Memorial.  Name the president.

Answer to #19 /// May be hard to believe, but Ronald Reagan holds the distinction of being the first to deliver his inaugural address from the west front of the Capitol.

Dang, these are tough!  Sounds like a wartime or post-war President, or someone during bad economic times.  FDR?

I've come to the conclusion I know a little about the presidents, and but don't know jack squat about any of the inaugurations. ::bashing::

Boy am I getting bad, old and bad terrible combination.  In #21 substatute the word "money' with "wallet".  I hang my head in shame ---
The answer is none other the  - George Herbert Walker Bush, President #41 and #43 GWB's father.

Guess I need break time, to many hours at work covering for those off---  ::doh:: ::bashing:: ::speechless::
