Somebody has too much time on their hands to have researches and assembled this quiz. I don’t have the time to write all the questions (even in shorthand fashion), select my answer, then scroll down to read the answers. I just read through the questions and I knew that my score would not require much ink. I think I made about 10% in spite of being a “camper” for nearly 50 of my 68 years. I remember many of the developments that you quiz about, but have forgotten when they occured.
Good trivia quiz. Thanks for the entertainment.
