D’oh!! These were toughies. And I had no idea about the Neil/Barbra/Lincoln connection.

Memorial is in your ‘hood…Bed-Stuy…yes?? Just not remembering exactly where so maybe half credit for me.

Well, I didn’t know most of these. The only reason I was able to come up with them is because I happen to be reading the book.

1. B
2. D
3. A
4. C
5. D
6. A
7. B
8. D
9. A
10. C

I think both Neil and Barbara went to Erasmus, but the book says they were in the same CLASS at Lincoln.

GMF is from the Bronx.

Yusef Hawkins was the teen killed in Bensonhurst. For extra credit, where can a memorial still be seen?

WOW! These are good. I started out not knowing a damn thing but picked up the pace as the quiz progressed.

1 – No idea! B sounds good. I’m going to have to Google this…I’m so curious.
2 – No idea again! Ditto on google.
3 – DITTO! I’ll say B. It sounds like the best story.
4 – Got to be D…he was one of the first, so seems like the right answer
5 – Not sure, so I’ll have to go with D (seems like a trick question)
6 – No idea but I’m going to have to go with the lowest, C
7 – C
8 – C
9 – A
10 – C
