"The Woman in White" February 17, 2023

Post by Bob cruise director »

This week's contest is titled The Woman In White by Mike Shenk

The answer to this week's contest crossword is a famous American woman of the past.

The Woman in White - spreadsheet

Two administrative items

Monday is a WSJ nonpublishing holiday consequently the answer will be published officially at 4 PM ET Monday. However the contest ends at 11:59 pm on Sunday and answers will be published on this forum after the contest closes.

Also I will be going over to New York state to visit my 95 year old aunt on Saturday so the status will be posted on Friday noon, Friday evening and Sunday noon.

Good luck with the grid and the meta.

On the beach, and found an open seat at the bar. Um, I’ll have a Tab, and put it on my Guinness. W-wait, I mean I’ll have a Guinness and put it on my tab! (Huh… is that where the term “drink order” came from?)

On Shore, hit the random generator for the drink and came up with a Tilted Tom Collins...that will work.

Grabbing a seat at the bar quickly as I think it'll be crowded.

On shore.... unless I missed an element, it wasn't terribly click-y, but it's one of those "if all the elements point you 90% toward the same person, then it probably is that person" metas.
