Finishing up...

1..I doubt any of you are unfamiliar with the name of Primatine Mist.

2..VTC gives us a snow job--1st woman to win Iditarod.

3..During a time of highly corrupt legislators, Mr. Reed was a reformer. Opposing congressmen used to show up
and not answer to roll call in order to prevent quorums. The Speaker confronted them and marked them present anyway.
The guy got things done.

4..Rbny & VTC nail the Napoleanic Code.

5..Joseph Kony, as VAUC well knows.

6..It's surprising that such a well known song is picked up only by rbny. "single word, Maria".
VAUC, I too have and enjoy Johnny Mathis' version. I once had his rendition of "Somewhere"
from the same production. Sadly it became a casualty of the move to CD, and no one has posted it on Youtube
that I could enjoy it anew.

7..VAUC is spot on with Greenland.

8..The pregnant.

9..All hail Bill Russel...as you did.

10..Ave et Vale, Ron Ehrhardt, as husky so proclaimed.

11..The German linked diseases to unique bacillus causation.

12..VTC says Burgundy. I believe him.

13..Our 2 "V" guys correctly state Washington.

Soon I'll cover the rest.
