+GPX Navigators Posted February 18, 2007 Share Posted February 18, 2007 At the request of Super Nate - what the heck. We need some more fun. Another Vinyl to be given away. Again, not in hand yet but when I get it you will too. This is for all those who did not attend GeoCoin Fest or the other CA events in that area. We're playing for fun! I have another biography sitting on my nightstand waiting for me to read. Tell me who the biography is about and its title. You can guess once every half hour -- with first guess now (~ 4:10 CST) and the next guess at the half hour mark (4:30 here) and then starting at 5, every half hour after that till someone gets it right. Previous winners excluded. Trying to spread the fun a bit. This is the coin that will be yours: Quote Link to comment

So tell me, how did you figure that out? And PM me your addy. Ummm...well...<whispers> I'm an American history/biography junkie, too. <nomal tone>And it was clear you'd not been reading about TR. So I figured "It's President's Day coming up...either Washington or Lincoln," and there hasn't been too many NEW Lincoln bios, but a BUNCH of Washington ones lately. So I took a stab at MY kinda reading. Quote Link to comment
