Elwood Quiz, In Connection With the May 17th Election

[Originally transmitted on Elwood Community Network on 4/29]

Question:


What are the names of (1) the former Elwood Board of Education Trustee, who was endorsed by Elwood's teachers union for his/her only contested election to the BOE, and (2) the former Elwood Principal, who was known to be active in other union matters in Elwood, who were reported today to have met, on Thursday night, at a home in the Old Chester Hills section of Elwood, with a very young and very inexperienced candidate for the May 17th election for the Elwood Board of Education?


Contest Guidelines and Rules:

You have twenty-four hours to consider the question, and to propose your answer; both names must be correct.

The first correct answer will receive 20 Belgian Francs, and the second correct answer will receive two Nathan's Franks.

Frankly speaking, given the conversion of most European nations (including Belgium) to the Euro, the second prize is worth much more than the first prize.

There are no penalties, other than sheer bemusement on the part of the writer, for wrong answers.
