"This is it," says Robert Hunter, who is retiring after 40 years as the director and founder of the annual Friends of Millard Fillmore Trivia Hunt.
The hunt, open to all high school students from San Mateo County, takes place Feb. 1 to 4, beginning and ending at the Carlmont High School Student Union.

    Back in the pre-internet dark ages, participating in the Millard Fillmore trivia hunt was the pinacle of my dorky teenaged career at Woodside High School. It was so much fun careening around the Bay Area searching for clues, sweet-talking librarians and running up the school's long distance bill. The best part was defending our answers as a team lawyer at the judging.
    Good times.
