YES!! I am Andrew Volstead! Great job! Worried he might be too obscure.
Excellent - thanks! I remember the agents in The Untouchables often mentioning about the Volstead Act. Don't know anything about the man, though. Let's see: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andrew_Volstead
The aircraft carrier is the USS Carl Vinson, named after this long-serving Congressman: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carl_Vinson
I'll start the next round tomorrow.
Excellent! I looked up the Volstead Act, hoping it was named for a person. I assume Carl was Fred's brother?
No mention of it in either of their Wiki bios. Carl was born in Georgia, while Fred was born in Kentucky; no relation, I think.
