These Presidents have three, at least, things in common.

All depicted on Mount Rushmore Memorial.
All depicted on currency
All had ships named after them

That's all I have...

My original intent was that they're the only four Presidents with full-fledged memorials here in D.C. They're also all depicted on coins. And they all were elected at least twice. I didn't know about the ships--cool!

Nit-picker that I am, I can't help pointed out that FDR is not on Mt. Rushmore. That's Theodore Roosevelt.

Your turn to post, Ms. Jo.

Actually I started using Teddy rather than Franklin in my research half way through...so I was completely wrong.

Well, you and Aylee were both right about the Hogwarts books, so one of you can post a new quartet.

Well, dayum, I thought that one would take longer than 10 minutes.

Good Job.

So what is the new quartet?

We seem to be quartet-less, so I'll fill in.

New Quartet:

Pietro Gasparri
Eugenio Pacelli
Domenico Tardini
Jean-Marie Villot

What job did these clerics have in common? And which is the odd one out? (There are actually two odd ones out, depending on how you look at it.)

They were all Cardinals.

Eugenio Pacelli is the odd one out as he's the only one of the three to become Pope.
Jean-Marie Villot is the odd one out as is the only non-italian on your list.
