I had some close calls and some guesses from left field....
but no winning combos...
so I will keep the GRAND PRIZE this week!!
Arnold Palmer and Norman Rockwell....on their bike ride!?!
(Arnold was at Norman's home to do a sitting for a portrait)
Mr. Biker on the left......Arnold Palmer.

--Co-founded the Golf Channel.
--The Arnold Palmer Hospital for Children is a 158-bed pediatrics hospital facility located in Orlando, Florida, United States. It was ranked as one of the nation's Top 30 pediatric hospitals for heart care and heart surgery by U.S. News & World Report.
--The "Arnold Palmer" drink is a 50/50 mix of Lemonade and Ice Tea....which he developed back in his early days of golfing.....Arizona Tea markets it now...and it is hard to find.....one of Danny's favorite drinks....but none available in Macomb. The "Arnold Palmer" mixed with alcohol is called the "John Daly"!!
Mr. Biker on the right.... Norman Rockwell.
--was eventually allowed to enter the Navy but only after gaining the 7 pounds needed in less than 2 hours of flunking by eating large quantities of bananas....donuts....and water. Became an art editor of the Navy's magazine.
