I have one DQ. I will give it to the first taker if I am allowed to do so. Otherwise, I will forfeit it.

DLR, you’ve been on a good run with your questions, you take Personal’s.

Any earned DQs may be relinquished to any other player.

Thanks, Prof.!

I think I have it. Do I just blurt it out?

Federal Judge Sarah Hughes, who administered the oath of office to LBJ on Air Force One.

291

Damn. I think DLR was probably supposed to have first crack at it. Sorry about that.

292

Correct, I am

Judge Sarah T. Hughes

Well done! For more: Sarah T. Hughes - Wikipedia

I remember the name now, but would never have come up with her on my own. Good job, Personal!

[unvote]

You need to start a February thread for the next round.

294

I think DLR should have it if I broke the rules, right?

295

DLR hasn’t posted since Saturday afternoon, and you really should have waited until I invited “Are you Firstname Lastname?” guesses, Personal, but I’d say you should go ahead and start our next round (in a new thread for February, as **PP **suggests).
