This one was offered as an extra credit opportunity and some bonus points could not hurt my current situation. "How could Charles M. Andrews have lived his entire life without crossing the street"? The only hint that I have is something about a simpler age. Is this some kind of a joke or a trick question?

Actually, SraJMcGin, the riddle in fact does refer to him. His life is a real mystery, I agree. I already read that very same article before coming to visit here. I was not thinking along the same lines as you were, but who knows what all is going on here? Perhaps I should come back later. ¡Gracias por su tiempo!
