Guess Who Answers Revealed

Our "Guess Who" survey has closed.  Here are the answers:

1.  Who is the Fieg in-law who captains a 43-foot sailing yacht in the waters of the Caribbean, the Bahamas and the U.S. east coast every summer?
53.8% correctly answered Bob Ramagosa.

2. This family member participated in an exhaustive but futile search for a downed flyer hidden under the dense canopy of the Central American jungle.
61.5% correctly answered Philip Fieg.

3. During a 7,000 mile cross-country motorcyle trip to Central America, this family member was halted along a jungle highway by Spanish-speaking Army regulars and warned to remove his camouflage hat or else run the risk of being shot and killed as a revolutionary.
Don Roman was correctly identified by 38.5% of respondents.

4. While traveling by automobile across the Caribbean island of Hispaniola, this family member was advised that, to avoid trouble in the event of being stopped by authorities, she should claim to be an employee of Gulf & Western oil company (which she was not).
Yes, it was Diana Monaco, as guessed by 46.2% of you.

5. This family member is a familiar face in the locker room of the Buffalo Bills and is a personal acquaintance, on a first-name basis, with Terrell "T.O." Owens, among other NFL players.
Hard to get this wrong:  Kyle McGonigal is the correct answer, with 61.5% getting the gold star.

6. This sailor is often seen boating the labrynthine waterways of the Florida Everglades.
Though 23.1% thought it was my baby sister, Phyllis, the rest of you correctly selected Mary Wolcott.

7. In her youth, she was a skilled and capable water skier, and doesn't look bad in a bathing suit, either.
Of course Aunt Maxine, Marsha and Anne all look great in a bathing suit!  How 30.8% of you could choose one and not all is a puzzle.  Maybe it is time for them to appear at a reunion so we can see for ourselves......!

8. This family member placed third in a gruelling, three sport annual triathlon at Cooperstown, N,Y, running, biking and swimming.
OK, wise guys.  Neither Steven, Greg nor Joe is a good candidate for a triathlon competition.  Very funny.....

9. He has played piano professionally in major Las Vegas nightclubs.
Our family is very musical, but 84.6% were correct in selecting Russell Fieg.

10. This Fieg family member is a high-ranking police official in Florida.
Once again, easy:  92.3% selected Andrew Shedlock correctly.

Thanks to all who participated!
