[wire chief]

There's always a time to put a quiz to rest. That time is now.

1..Geordi gives us Lt. Maryk; VTC tells us he was played by Van Johnson. Let these posters split the MUTINY AWARD.

2..Four follow Husky's lead with Oscar Robertson, also called the Big O, at least until that phrase
was grabbed by studies of female .

3..You danced around this, but no one one picked Nat'l PTA.

4..There are 5 picks for Kirk and his signature dimple. By now, rbny may remember "Marty".

5..Louise Lasser is remembered by Dish; JR recognizes the tribute to Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman.
(P. S. Does anyone know why the producers doubled up on the name?)

6..Geordi & VAUC with U of San Diego.

7..Rbny with Birmingham, apparently a city where no one should aspire to live, right now.

8..Yes, our very own country papa--geordi & 3 other amateur historians.

9..After the hint, the selection of Groucho works, Pinot & geordi. VAUC independently throws out every comedian
who existed since court jesters thrived.

10..Liza Minelli starred in The Sterile Cuckoo, apparently known by Pinot, JR & VAUC.

11..Four of you pick Greenpeace.

12..Mr. Woolworth is the entrepeneur wanted, JR & Pinot.

13..See Husky for the tune by America
