Hook is cited, not awfully interesting, but just interesting enough. Article complies with the requirements of DYK, Earwig raises no concerns, QPQ done, ready to go. Moonraker (talk) 05:58, 19 April 2020 (UTC)

- ALt1a ... that Ross Perot met his wife on a blind date while a midshipman
- ALT1a is good, except that I have taken the liberty of striking "docked". The Guardian obituary says nothing about it, and the Dallas Morning News says "...met Margot on a blind date when he was a midshipman and she was at Goucher College in Baltimore." It’s a reasonable guess he was on a ship there, but at best it’s joining dots. Moonraker (talk) 09:24, 3 May 2020 (UTC)
