TRR Trivia – July 2019
By Christy Howe
Last month’s trivia question was presented by Ray C.
This was a 7-part question, so there were lots of point possibilities.
Ray posed the question: Which vehicle nickname or license plate belongs to which person/vehicle in the club?
1. JADE
2. DIRT DEVIL
3. GOZNEWR
4. MOABIN
5. KD0SVD
6. AD0TT
7. FARM IMPLEMENT
Answers:
1. Adam M
2. Gail S
3. Mike and Caroline M
4. Don and Karen L
5. Vic W and Debbie T
6. Larry and Paulette M
7. Bill B (deceased)
With several possibilities for correct answers, almost everyone who turned in a paper scored at least one point.
Point totals from the seven trivia questions came to:
5 points – Adam M, Vic W, Debbie T, Larry M, Paula K
4 points – Richard H, Christy H
3 points – Gordy H, Greg B, Mike M, Roger B
2 points – Matt S, Mike C, Linda G, Gary B
1 point – Erin B, Carolanne S, Lynn C
Congratulations to Paula K, who takes the lead for 2019 with 9 points. Paula is followed by Vic W with 8, and Adam M and Christy H are tied for third place with 7 points each. There are many more people with points, so if you want to know your current total at any time, just ask the author.
This month’s trivia question will be brought to you by Mike C.
