Golda Meir, I think, although I'm not sure I spelled that right. Happy St. Patty's Day!
There's gold in my ear ... I mean, Golda Meir! Kim's got this one.
Evacuation Day is a big scam in Boston ... it's just an excuse so the politicians can get St. Patrick's Day off!
Yup, Golda Meir is the answer. Born in Russia, she grew in Wisconsin and once taught at a Milwaukee high school.
Kim, nice work! Did you dye anything green for St. Patrick's Day? I realized only today that I should have made pistachio pudding!
JD, very funny! Does this mean you've gotten an earring? ;) That's funny about evacuation day, did you ever participate?
