This Week’s Trivia Question: What happened in the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month 108 years ago? (No Googling! First to email Jay Forstner the right answer gets a mention in next week’s Cheat Sheet). Last week’s question was, “When ‘You’re a Good Man, Charlie Brown’ had its off-Broadway premier, what M*A*S*H actor played Charlie Brown? The answer was Gary Burghoff. EGRSF board member David Filkins was the first to get the right answer. 

Have a great week! Together, we’re investing in our students, because the future belongs to Pioneers.
