Can You Solve the Pirate Riddle? - Alex Gendler


It’s a good day to be a pirate. Amaro and his four mateys – Bart, Charlotte, Daniel, and Eliza have struck gold – a chest with 100 coins. But now, they must divvy up the booty according to the pirate code — and pirate code is notoriously complicated. Can you help come up with the distribution that Amaro should propose to make sure he lives to tell the tale? Alex Gendler shows how.

125th Birthday of F. Scott Fitzgerald


Sept. 24, 2021 marks the quasquicentennial, or 125th anniversary, of F. Scott Fitzgerald’s birth. Indeed, the “Great Gatsby” author has been buried in Rockville for more than 80 years.

For the rest of eternity, F. Scott Fitzgerald rests at St. Mary’s Catholic Church Cemetery, sharing the same plot of land with his wife Zelda, where they are surrounded by five generations of Fitzgerald family members. To this day, and especially around Fitzgerald’s birthday, passersby visit the author’s burial site and leave gifts in homage to the “Jazz Age,” like bottles of champagne, cigars, candles, money, and much more.

Many who study the “Gatsby” author question why he is buried in Rockville when he never actually lived in Montgomery County. Jackson Bryer, professor emeritus of English at the University of Maryland and president of the F. Scott Fitzgerald Literary Society, and Eileen McGuckian, a historian and preservationist who wrote “F. Scott Fitzgerald’s Rockville: A Guide to Rockville MD in the 1920s,” speak to MyMCM about how Fitzgerald’s roots run deep in Montgomery County. They also share the story about how F. Scott and Zelda happened to be buried here, not once but twice.
