[/Quote] [Roger McBride](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roger_McBride) was the Libertarian candidate in 1976. [Reggie Miller](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reggie_Miller) starred at UCLA and in the NBA, while sister Cheryl excelled at Southern Cal and as a member of Team USA in the 1984 Olympics. DQ’s: Were you involved with animals (wildlife or pets) as a “scientist of sorts”? Were you born during the nineteenth century? IQ’s: Did you play center field for the Boston Red Sox? Did you often sing _The Spar-Spangled Banner_ before games at Yankee Stadium? ---

[QUOTE=Sternvogel] Were you involved with animals (wildlife or pets) as a “scientist of sorts”? Were you born during the nineteenth century?

No idea on the CF. ---
