Man this is hard...I googled it...no luck and even called a few buddies with WCSO...they didn't know. You would think it would have been a test question of theirs at some point. You arn't gonna make this easy!

I know the answer from Michelle Cox at 8:15 is correct, however I answered the same at 7:48 and a friend of mine did the same about the same time. Are you not getting the comments?

OK, here's what I need to do. I did not intend to publish Michele Cox answer as there was already a winner ahead of her and others. To show exactly how the answers came in, would everyone agree to see all of the answers so everyone is confident as to who answered what and when? The reason I ask is, I stated I wasn't going to show all the names but if no one cares I'll post the answers and the winner at the end?

can you let us know who the winner is?

The WINNER is Michael T Brittingham. Congratulations Michael. I was going to put up Gin and Michael's together like I have done because they were so close to one and other. There were quite a few answers and I'd be happyt to put them up if everyone doesn't mind. It's up to you. No one has said no yet. ??????

Are you sure that you didn't get the correct answer at 7:48?

What happened to my answer at about 7:48? I answered William Howard in 1867 served until 1869.

joe albero said...

OK, that is EVERY single answer and the times in which they came in.

MAN, I have to admit, you guys are GOOD!

I searched around for this like there's no tomorrow and had the toughest time.

We must have a LOT of really OLD people still left in W@icomico County.

Mr. Brittingham, would you be interested in telling everyone where you found the answer?

Hello B Lemon

Have you talked to Fulton lately

Anonymous said...

your question asks WHEN was the person sworn in? the answer is FALL of 1867......... not any other season...... maybe I really want these tickets and that is why I am being picky

I found it on the sheriff's website. www.wicmoicosheriff.com. I saw it the other day when I was trying to find out when Mike lewis got sworn in. These is also video on the bottom right called Outtakes from above episodes that I watch while I was looking around... very funny Sheriff Lewis got the giggles during the crime solvers taping.
