Quiz 23 ’38

23 May

You are too diabolical, Tim. At first I thought that maybe the second event had to do with a legacy he didn’t want, i.e., the reputation of In Like Flynn, and I wondered if he purchased the Sirocco in 1938. But your other clues don’t match that at all. Then I recalled that Flynn said his issue of LIFE was buried in a time capsule, but I don’t know what 5K (or 5,000?) and the photos have to do with that. That’s as far as my brain gets.

Wow. You’ve outdone yourself, Tim. Fascinating stuff. I didn’t know microfilm even existed back then. You’re the master detective to find these factoids!

Believe me, Tim, without your additional clues for your quizzes, I’d get nowhere. And, of course, there’s that little thing called Google that helps just a bit.

And of course I’ll raise a toast (or two)!
