Gumby, You are correct! I understand that he was a football coach at Yale University in the 1930's. There is another President who was a football coach as well (Woodrow Wilson at Wesleyan University 1888- 1890). Good job! The floor is yours!

Thanks Scout

A recent trivia question

The Army Corps of Engineers recently blew a 2 mile wide hole in a levee on the Missouri side of the Mississippi River flooding 130,000 acres of prime farmland and inundating about 100 houses. Which city of about 3,000 people were they trying to save from the highest recorded floodwaters on the Ohio River?
