My first inclination was to call this page a Trivial Pursuit after the popular board game. But I did not want to convey the impression that anyone’s life was trivial. Quite to the contrary. So I decided to call it a Midterm Exam. Why Midterm? Well, I figured someone might come along and produce another set of questions that might be more fun than these. So that might be a Final Exam.
As a student I sometimes had the impression that my teachers randomly selected questions to ask on exams. That is what I did here. I sort of chose topics that peaked my interest as I scanned the biographies in the Reunion Book.
