3/8 today. Better than yesterday anyway! Hey LT, meant to tell you I love your sig line.

Wow, I thought I would get this one, but I was about 25 years off base. And, talking about Thurgood Marshall, I'm sure the Baltimore Airport, at one time, was named after him. Yes????

Edited to add, I got 100%, 0/0.

The major airport serving Baltimore and the Maryland suburbs of Washington, DC, was renamed the Baltimore-Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport on October 1, 2005.
