Please ask your “Firstname Lastname” DQs no later than 1800 tomorrow (though I don’t think it will take that long :smiley:).

Were you an American media figure in WWII with the same last name as a noted Jim Nabors character?

That’s not a DQ, but I’ll give it to you anyway. :smiley:

Yes, I am Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist and war correspondent Ernie Pyle!


Where did the Prof and DLR disappear to? I’m pretty sure one (or both) of them knew the answer.
