Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. I was born Woodrow Wilson Smith in the year 1912 Gregorian. My family lived at the time in one of the cities of Missouri. If you can recall which city that was please enter it into the computer now.
2. I remember the time that I took off from the planet Blessed and found myself with two unexpected passengers. Their names were Joe and Estrellita. They were supposedly twin brother and sister but somehow unrelated. Can you recall how they came to be passengers in my ship?
3. Way back in the year 2113, the Howard Families were discovered for what we were, namely long-lifers. In the ensuing riots that occurred we were forced to steal a "Generation" ship in order to escape into space. Hopefully we would find a new planet to colonize. On this trip, one ephemeral, or short-lifer, came along with us. I don't remember his name but I recall that he held a political position of some importance at the time.
4. One of my very first "loves" was a stuffed animal I had when I was a young child. It's been so long ago that I can barely remember what it was. Perhaps Justin Foote, the Families Archivist, has some record of it. If you recall, then please enter that information into the computer now.
5. I have known my share of self-aware computers in my lifetime. One of my fondest memories is of Minerva, who decided to become flesh-and-blood after helping me with some of my memoirs. Before she crossed over though, she duplicated her memories into a computer installed in my ship, which was also a self-aware computer. This computer eventually became the operations manager for all of Tellus Tertius. The little imp nagged me constantly so I shouldn't have any problems recalling her name. Perhaps my subconscious has repressed the memory of her. Do you recall who I'm referring to?
6. I have lived so long and had so many names it's almost impossible to remember them all. I know one of these names isn't one of mine, I just can't remember which one. Please let Minerva know which one so the records stay accurate.
7. Although some people believe in "Better a dead hero than a live coward" I prefer to be a live hero. But, there have been times when I've put myself in mortal danger for someone I love or a cause I believed in. One of these times was when I went to war to prove to my love (and my mother) Maureen Johnson that I was no traitor or coward. This was one of the many wars that the United States was engaged in during the time that I was there disguised as Theodore Bronson. I was a corporal in that war and durn near lost my life except for the valiant rescue operations by the Time Corp. Unfortunately, there were so many wars during that time that I can't remember exactly which one it was. Please help me refresh my fading memory.
8. While the Families and I were fleeing persecution in the New Frontiers I became very fond of a "young" lady named Mary Sperling. After we landed on the planet orbiting star PK3722 we met the inhabitants, which we dubbed the "Little People." Unfortunately, when we left this planet Mary was unable to continue with us. I know there was a reason I didn't like but I can't recall what it was.
9. A very good friend of mine whom I met while traveling in exile on the New Frontiers is one of the best mathematicians I've had the privilege of knowing. I can't remember his full name but we all just called him "Slipstick". Please enter his full name for the records.
10. Finally, during my over-long lifetime I have had but one true love. She was an ephemeral that I met as a child on the frontier planet "New Beginnings". My love for her was so great that I decided to homestead with her instead of returning to my ship to continue on my trade routes. I also named my private space yacht after her many, many years later - the same ship which helped me to go back in time for some wonderful adventures. I hold her memory dear to me and will never forget her name, but if you have truly followed my lives and loves then this will be an easy answer for you.
