WHO IS JULIETTE GORDON LOW?
After becoming involved in the Girl Guide movement in England, Juliette Gordon Low went on to found the Girl Scouts of the USA in Savannah, Georgia. She created a trefoil emblem patterned after the one used by Lord Baden-Powell’s Boy Scouts and was granted a patent in 1914. Membership in the Girl Scouts of America grew rapidly. By 1921, Low felt it advisable to step down as president of the organization. After much soul-searching, she officially transferred the emblem patent to the Girl Scouts of America on condition that she would always be recognized as the founder, and that her name would appear in that capacity in the Girl Scouts’ Constitution, on its stationery and on all membership cards.

thought the answer to Sequoyah question yesterday was Cherokee – but it wasnt – todays nyt puzzle – like Sequoyah, for whom the tree is named – Cherokee??????????? am i wrong – wasnt the answer not Cherokee?
@Alan, this was a Daily Double in the 2-21-22 game. The clue itself names Sequoyah’s tribe — referring to him as a Cherokee leader. Usually, the spelling for the tree that bears his name is sequoia.
Hopefully, that clears it up for you.
Ok, I’ll own it! I didn’t think Henry had it in him. I was wrong. Good luck to him!
As for final, I thought of the Girl Scouts, but couldn’t come up with her name. And, didn’t Julia Ward Howe write “The Battle Hymn of the Republic”?
So, this FJ was one of those that’s easy to tee off and land on the green, but hard to putt and hole out.
Somewhat surprising no one got the final, as the trefoil is the iconic Girl Scouts logo, not to mention one of their cookie varieties.
Stumpers were mostly very tough (except the one showing Christ rising).. Figured out the school term for alcove only after 2 wrong answers gave me some time.
DDs should have all been nailed, they were kind of obvious.
Upon further deliberation, even if you knew it was the Girl Scouts, you still had to know the founder’s name, which is not exactly a household word.
Holly was on the right track. Had she bet it all and been right, she’d have tied Henry as it turned out. Maybe he should have bet $1 less to lock her out? I think that’s what he was intending, and of course knew Hieu had to bet a bundle and be incorrect.
Juliet Gordon Low was deaf. I remember doing a report on her back when I was in High School. The way she became deaf was really interesting. She was attending a wedding and they were throwing rice. Somehow one of the grains of rice ended up in her ear.
Keep up the fantastic work VJ, everyone else too.
Thanks for vindicating me, VJ! At least I’m not the only one who gets those 2 names confused.
I’ve confused the two names often as well.
Here’s what was interesting about the FJ responses – Julia Ward Howe and Mary Baker Eddy (assuming she’s the one Hieu had in mind) both died in 1910 (at 91 and 89, respectively).
Women of the world trivia in dos format had a question asking about the founder of girl Scouts of of America since the trefoil was mentioned. Furthermore I am happy to see the daily doubles nailed. But who was hieu thinking of when he put Baker? Vj and Jacob do you guys have any ideas on that name perhaps an actor named Dylan Baker or a famous writer with that same last name? Henry looks good for a third win but I thought Hieu had this game in the bag if he didn’t bet a bundle.
Lou, I think he meant Mary Baker Eddy, Christian Science founder.
Lou, I have no idea who he had in mind. Perhaps he will drop in and let us know. I’m still trying to figure out how a fj clue about a person whose name has come up on Jeopardy at least a dozen times, if my memory serves me correctly, over the years was a triple stumper.
As I mentioned this morning, I was very aware of the name, but I couldn’t connect her name to any info in the clue. My knowledge of the Girl Scouts is far too shallow.
JP, I remember that comment from this morning. Wait until you get married and have girls. If they join the Girl Scouts you will be inundated with trefoil cookies. Our household had stacks of them waiting to be sold when our daughters were little. LOL!
That was a tough final as we got a triple stumper.
