Mike,
If I buy a book on the history of Delaware, will you assign me the State Final? Thanks, I'll even polish my belt!
Well, if I was Mike, I would at least require you to also pass this test:

1) How did Delaware get its name?
from Lord De La Warr

2) What is the significance of the name Zwaanendael to the state?
first community

3) Why is the Declaration of Independence even more significant to Delaware than to the other original 13 states?
I almost said first signer - Caesar Rodney, but that was the Constitution.

(Send me your answers and I'll grade them for you!)

2 out of 3 is passing, with extra credit for the Constitution comment

(And, Mike, I'll bet you thought the only thing I was nutty about was softball rules and English grammar!)
