The Trio Game

fyi, its fruit :]

here's 3 clues:

1) 1941

2) ambuse attack

3) Pacific
 
December 7, the Japanese air attack on Pearl Harbor? The day that FDR said would live in infamy?
 
The ambush clue kind of threw me, but the other historical events took place the year I was born. My father was in the navy stationed in the Hawaiian Islands not far from Pearl Harbor. The event hastened the U.S. into WWII.

New clues of another historical event:

1. This hastened the entrance of the U.S. into World War I.

2. 128 U.S. citizens died in an attack which killed 1198.

3. Das Boot U-20.

You're so right, Ms. Bott. Mr. Monk is on the USA channel tonight. It's so zany that it's my favorite show.

It's your turn!
 
You know I will be glued to the television at 8pm. It can be watched online at usa network.com. Not sure if cc since I haven't tried to watch it.

1. High school dropout

2. Inventor

3. Started a big business in 1880
 
Terrific clues. Edison fits the time period, but Thom not only graduated high school but went to Harvard.

Let's see, Eli Thomson was the most prolific inventers of the late-1800s and early 1900s, granted about 700 U.S. patents. Don't know if he finished high school, but I'll guess Ol' Eli.

Are you implying, ever so gently, that I'm wrong?????

Okay, another wild guess would be George Eastman, the Kodak guy. I think George left high school to help support his family.
