    Yay Labor Day! I love a blue-collar hero, and that's what this holiday makes me think of. :) Hope mentioning that makes up for the fact that I don't know the answers to all of those questions... LOL

    The founde rof Labor Day surprised - but wouldn't have if I had known it was a result of the Pullman Strike - as that would have given me a time frame. I guess FDR. He started so many programs and holiday "days" to get the American economy and morale up that this would have been right up his alley had Grover not done it first! Thanks for making me use my brain - at least for a moment - on a Sunday!

    I did pretty well on the test. Who knew that high school history stuck in my head! I had no idea which president made it a national holiday though.

    Thanks. I do love trivia.
