I take 20 for "Who founded?"

Huntsville! Well if you were an attentive reader of my last post you caught the note about Huntsville. A good friend up and moved to Huntsville (well for a job), but the whole thing got me to thinking about my freshman year of high school and my Huntsville problem.

Our final exam came up and one of the bonus questions was: "Who founded Huntsville?" At a loss for names I wrote "Mr. Hunt," my motto obviously was never leave an answer blank, plus I wanted a higher score than Robbie. Well, Coach Ward gave me credit and probably got a good laugh out of the matter, but if you think about it, do you have to precede Washington with George, Lincoln with Abe, and Jefferson with Thomas-no! For those of you laughing at me the saga continued in college, but I'll tell the story later.

And in case you are still wondering Mr. John Hunt founded Huntsville. John! Of all names!
