      Dedication

      A special dedication to my sisters, Nancy Miller and Georgia Jody Mapes for the loving care they gave Stacy for 30 years. Also to Lea Ann Bettis for caring for Stacy in the final two years of her life.

      Also to all my family and to all my friends that called to say they had a trivia question for me.

      The idea of this book came about a year ago. I spent countless hours at the nursing home with my daughter, Stacy. I read to pass the time. She could not talk or walk due to her injuries. I got the idea to start the book. I have always been an avid reader of any and everything. After my husband passed away and I was recovering from two hip surgeries, I would read five to six paperback books a week. I became interested in Trivia when the first home game was introduced. When I came across an interesting question while reading, I would write it down. I have pursed over five hundred books and magazines of every genre and watch all the educational programs on television. This book was a labor of love since it was composed in long hand. I guess I am one of the only people not owning a computer?

      I hope you enjoy this book as much as I did composing it.

      Ciao

      4.   What was Elton John’s middle name?

      5.   Name Woody the Woodpecker’s girlfriend?
