 | All. Notice. PeopleQuiz has been experiencing issues with Amazon AWS restarting the site and regressing the database. We currently have a copy from approximately August 2021 (though what you see here - for now - is older). In addition, Amazon has made the PQ version of PHP MYSQL Libraries obsolete, so the site must have an extensive architectural update to run. Please be patient as I work through this. I'm anticipating having everything resolved by October 2021 |

 | Dave, I agree. He couldn't have reached the heights he did without having more than his fair share of grey matter. Good luck with the imaging issue. It would be nice to add a picture to the latest quiz by rocketgirl. |

| | Possibly. He gave off the impression of being clunky sometimes, but in fact he was a pretty sharp guy. The image may have come from at least one incident where he stumbled and then fell, and then Chevy Chase played off of that on Saturday Night Live repeatedly.
Also Grant, I'm going to take another look at the image loading tommorow morning. Cross your fingers. |

| | Grant, that's awesome. And Gerald Ford played college football right here in Ann Arbor for the University of Michigan. GO BLUE! |

| | Dave, thanks for your feedback. She was an appealing character for her willingness to share with the public her problems. There was a lot about her to like, as there was with her husband.
As we have a full consignment of quizzes on US Presidents, my project is to do similar for the First Ladies as they shared their load of the immense burden. |

| | True Grant. There's no telling what the climate and weather will be like in Michigan in 25 years at this rate. Right now our aquafers are holding up good though. |

| | Dave, the way the climate is changing, I warn you not to be too complacent. It will be the big issue influencing so many areas of human activity.

| | Yes, we have to figure out how to better them in California over here. Not as much of a problem here in Michigan where we are still blessed - for now - with a moist climate. |

| | Dave, thanks for your kind wishes. The rain we had last weekend was the best we have had in years. Things are starting to green already! The best thing about the rain was it put out some fires and enabled others to be gotten under control. The most worrying thing about this summer is we are being told this is the new normal and fires like the ones we've experienced will be an annual event. Our national government has a long record of climate change denial and took little action to safeguard things on the grounds of cost. They are now seeing a preventative approach would have saved a lot of money in terms of cost of fire-fighting, homes and vegetation lost and the huge drop in our tourist numbers. |

| | Grant,
The fire situation there is now a part of the daily news in the U.S. and many seem to be rallying here to raise funds to send to help. I saw you received some rain and I hope you get more. |

| | Dave, they were back again yesterday and yes, were aware of the tower and mentioned the university they thought was part of your town. I showed them your picture, Dave and the nice lady said she was surprised to see such a young-looking man in charge of the site! |

| | Yes I think maybe we've discuss the visual symbolism of the Ypsilanti water tower. lol. |
| |
| grant228 |
2020-01-03 23:41:57 |
| | Dave, I think they were too polite to mention your impressive water tower! In the limited time between hands, they explained where Rochester was on the "mitten" and concentrated more on their grandchildren here. If they are back on Monday, I will attempt to explore their opinion of Ypsilanti. |
| |
| dave |
2020-01-03 21:37:44 |
| | ah yes, Rochester is not to far. Did they mention anything about Ypsi? The tower? Depot Town? The fact that it exists in the shadow of Ann Arbor? lol |

| | Good evening, Dave. At my bridge club this afternoon I had the pleasure of meeting and playing against two Michiganders! They are from Rochester and visiting their daughter who lives in Port Macquarie with her husband. They know Ypsilanti well! |

| | All,
I had an issue with the site tonight and was forced to restore from a backup a few days old. I apologize for any inconvenience and any score or comments lost. |

| | Dave, his life was a rich source for any biographer, especially the relationship he had with his mother. A very domineering woman! |

| | Grant, I remember the FDR quizzes. They are very good. I think you and I chatted about the one biography about him that I'd read. I forget the title but it was about his life before the presidency, from childhood on up. |
| |
| grant228 |
2019-12-11 19:15:02 |
| | Yes, I started on January 1, 2009 when I was searching for information on FDR as I was appearing on a quiz show with him as my specialty. I discovered Bill had made a mistake in one of the quizzes about him and wrote to him. |

| | Dave, , after almost eleven years of being part of the system, I know my way around the site reasonably well! It also helps we have many quizzes and bios to choose from. |
| |

| | Grant, I'm amazed at how you're able to find quizzes in our system with dates relevant to the current date. |

| | Oh wow. So its a sunny day but the smoke is dimming the light then? |
| |
| grant228 |
2019-12-10 05:48:42 |
| | Dave, no. It's smoke from fires up to 300-400 miles away. Sydneysiders aren't happy but it's the type of air we in the country have been coping with for months! As you can probably gather, the climate change argument is getting quite a workout while over 100 fires continue. Today it was so smoky on Sydney Harbour that the ferries were cancelled and fire alarms in many buildings going off! |
