The game was getting harder. Ellery decided to throw a curveball. What about a woman?

"Women queers?" said Alma. "Yep," said Ellery. "They are called lesbians."

[MaineWriter]

"Hmm," said Alma, "this game is getting harder, but it is still fun."

"Okay," said Ellery, "try this one. I'll give you a hint. He went to Leslie's high school, although he was quite a few years ahead of her and she never met him. Still, his picture was in the yearbook. His real name was Merle Johnson and that was the name he used as the character he played in Godfather II."

[MaineWriter]

"Last one," said Ellery. "This guy was both a movie actor and a singer...some thought he was a success, others had other ideas. He was murdered in 1976 and some think it might have been a hate crime. You know who this is?"

I don't know how to post the photos (and my son is asleep, so I can't ask him) but if it isn't too confusing without them...

Doris Day and Rock Hudson on the bed

Richard Chamberlin (Dr. Kildare)

Tab Hunter at the swimming pool?

Don't know the woman, or the Godfather II guy, or the man who was murdered (I want to say a really young Sal Mineo but I don't recall that he was murdered.)

Psst! Well, I don't know how to change that but can we at least pretend we are playing the game? LOL!!!

[tamarack]

Yes, Yes!!    Barbara Stanwyck. I knew she looked familiar.

(Off to do the dishes, take a shower and read some more of Leslie's book...I can hear a lot of firecrackers going off around here...)
