About Me
- PJM
- I grew up in West Texas, and could not wait to get away. I got away, and went to the University of Texas, and then on to Stanford. I saw the world, and decided what I really wanted was to be in West Texas. So here I am, right back where I started. I had it all, and found it was not that great.

I think I'll have to give up today. I'm on vacation and am going to the beach instead of sitting at the computer today. I'll look forward to finding out who beat you when I get back from relaxing on the sand and in the water.

I am usually late to this game and was surprised it was ongoing. I had to dig for quite some time, but I finally found her! Charlotte Cushman was a famous actress from the 19th century.
ReplyDeleteDonna,
ReplyDeleteCongratulations, you are a winner.
How did you know this?
PJM
Congratulations, Donna! How did you get it?
ReplyDeleteI just knew she had something to do with the Civil War and when that quest was exhausted, I got lucky at Picture History. From sonsofthesouth.net (this is your other site, right?), I followed the picturehistory.com link. Thanks for the fun!
ReplyDeleteYes, the www.sonofthesouth.net site is mine. Still surprised you figured it out. This was a hard one.
ReplyDeletePJM
Oh, should have said I randomly picked a category and literally started looking at every photo until I saw what I thought could be her at an older age, clicked through and saw the photo you posted here. Very lucky find and can you say I have too much time on my hands today?
ReplyDeleteAh. Good move! I had found a Pauline Cushman (actress and Union spy), but not Charlotte (no relation, that I can find)...
ReplyDeleteMy hats off to ya! I'll figure out how to do this someday.
Good game, PJM! How about a pic of Festus?
Well done Donna, good idea going
ReplyDeletewith actress.
PJM
Thanks for another good contest.
PJM
ReplyDeleteI didn't know www.sonofthesouth.net was your site. I've often visited there. It's a great site, so informative.
Linda,
ReplyDeleteYes, that was my first WEB site. Thanks for the kind words
