I decided to take a break from watching the tremendous happenings that are occurring around the world. The gigantic wakeup call has commenced but I feel the need to step back and not get too caught up in politics. I have only one thing to say and I’ll do it at the top of my lungs . . . THANK GOD FOR OUR TROOPS.
Now for todays posting. In the past I’ve posted quizzes from the 50’s, 60’s, 70’s , and 80’s. Some were easy and some were not. The people that lived through each era scored well as you would expect. Todays quiz concerns the 1950’s and the number of people born and raised in that time has been significantly reduced by old age. Let’s see how well you all do with this one. As always the answers will be listed below.
- Who succeeded Joseph Stalin as the leader of the Soviet Union?
- In what year was Dwight D. Eisenhower first elected US President?
- Great Britain, France, and __________ attacked Egypt during the Suez Crisis.
- North Korea and South Korea are separated at the __________ Parallel.
- In 1956, most of the action in the Hungarian Revolution took place in what city?
- What was the game that Eisenhower referred to in his famous “Falling” speech?

- In what country was Joseph Stalin born?
- More Americans lost their lives in which Korean War battle that lasted from November 27 to December 15, 1950?

For years I’ve collected lists, sayings, and quotations. The more I find, the more you get to read. One of these days I’m going to sit down and put together some of my thoughts, my limericks, and my musings. They’re sure to be just as interesting as these folks. And in

I found this list while digging around in some old boxes a few days ago. I eliminated a few that were dated like cheap shots at Bill Clinton. But those that remain I felt were worth sharing with you.
