my grandfather too didn’t have a middle name, and when asked said “nothing” thus an N became his middle initial.

This is what I get for doing these at work and half paying attention. :-)

I just went back and looked and it is clearly RFK both in name and picture. I’ll blame it on being a Monday.

Markmier, I’m a big fan of Harry (the ‘S’ stands for ‘S’) Truman myself. My grandfather had a similar middle name. As as kid, he had no middle name and was simply Frank (last name), Jr. (Also, just Frank, not Francis). The US Army didn’t take kindly to having a blank space where they wanted a middle name, so my grandfather took the Jr. off his name and made ‘J’ his middle initial, but it never stood for anything.

Hehe! My recaptcha is “splendid relatives” — very apropos.

I love when people adamantly correct things that aren’t wrong. That’s gotta hurt.

Robin: Easy with the accusations. JFK is not in this quiz. RFK is. (Sorry, Ryan.)

Ok good, I’m not crazy. I got 9/12 with the incorrect JFK one.

Um, that was ROBERT Francis Kennedy. Not John.

Though I missed it too. :)

Umm…John Francis Kennedy? I don’t think so. Who’d doing fact checking here?

Bleh, 33%.

I thought for sure that my favorite one would be on there:

Harry S Truman.

The S stands for S.
