Did you speak longer than Lincoln at Gettysburg?
Were you a White House plumber with an unusual name?

Were you named after the most famous witness to the battle of Ft. McHenry?

We’re still on E, right? Because the only guy I can think of who meets that criterion is F. Scott Fitzgerald, and I’m not him. Take a DQ if you were thinking of someone else.

99

I am at a loss and am packing to run away for a long weekend - I will be interested to see who it was when I am back.

The odd pink boat was referring to Operation Petticoat directed by Blake Edwards - whowas already covered by an IQ I didn’t get. So, I’ll forego any DQ there.
