"You got 13 out of 16. You've got sunshine on your shoulders! Perhaps you had the help of a good buddy?" Number 6 was a real toughie. West Virginia, it had to be John Denver but it wasn't.

You got 12 out of 16 - I guessed four of them and of course I got them wrong.

I was living in Monterey,CA back in 1997,right behind the Monterey airport.I remember the day John Denver died in that plane crash very well!He had built the experimental plane from a kit and it was his first(and last)test flight.I heard the plane take off all right,but then I heard a crash and splash less than 10 minutes later!My apartment was up on a hill so I could see a plane in the bay just off of Pacific Grove.I didn't know it was John Denver's plane until that evening on the news.=( R.I
