Two DQs reserved. What would be useful to ask now?
IQ: Were you a Massachusetts politician whose widow currently serves in Congress?
DQ.
You need one more to catch up…
That’s Paul Tsongas.
DQ: Combat veteran?
What did your small print comment mean?
That’s rich. I see that was in the 1912 Olympics, when according to Wikipedia “strict rules regarding amateurism were in effect for athletes participating in the Olympics.” 1912 was also the year when at least one cavalryman on active duty (a fellow named George Patton) participated in the modern pentathlon. Surely a cavalry officer received money for riding and shooting…
hehe That’s warfare, not sport, at least I hope it wasn’t.
DQ:
Best known for business accomplishment(s)?
One DQ reserved.

Eagerly awaiting your final questions…
Final Question: Are you Seth Tanner?
I am not.
Never heard of him, in fact…
Think think think…
He was a Mormon miner and explorer. Tanner Trail in the Grand Canyon is named for him.
All right, you got us back for the Game of Thrones questions.
Are you Morris M. Titterington, inventor of the Earth inductor compass?
I am not.
Never heard of him, either. Or it.
I’m utterly stumped, and yield my Firstname Lastname question to anyone who’d like to ask it.
