Find The Wisconsin Connection

Find The Wisconsin Connection Between the 1968 Children's Book CDB! by William Steig and Marilyn Monroe

William Steig had a brother, Henry Steig:

Steig was a New York artist best known as a silversmith.  His modernist pieces have been exhibited at MoMA and are highly sought by collectors.  Paintings by Henry Steig are in the permanent collection of the Provincetown Art Association and Museum.

Here's Henry's workshop:

Oops, there's a little bit more to that picture:

The Seven-Year Itch

There's actor Tom Ewell with our gal Marilyn. But where's the Wisconsin connection?

Marilyn And Tom

From Wisconsinology:

Who is that suave looking man standing next to Marilyn Monroe in that iconic moment of moments from the 1956 film, The Seven Year Itch? Why it's Tom Ewell, University of Wisconsin class of 1928.

See what a great game this is? You can play it with anything and anybody. It probably won't work with any other state, though.
