 * Symbol confirmed.svg Date, length, refs, and hook check out.  Ruby  2010/  2013  07:05, 13 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Another possible hook could be ALT1: "... that Frank L. Roberts and Mary Wendy Roberts were the first, and to date, only, father-daughter team to serve simultaneously in the Oregon Legislative Assembly?" I find the alt interesting, but still like the original if you prefer it.  Ruby  2010/  2013  07:05, 13 November 2011 (UTC)
 * I'm fine with that, although the ref, since it was written in 1995, doesn't prove that no other father-daughter teams have served since then. (They haven't, but we'd need a citation to prove it for DYK.) I also sort of liked the possible edginess of the first hook which might draw people in--wait, did he have TWO wives at the same time? It might even be hookier to say "... that Frank L. Roberts served in the Oregon Legislative Assembly with his daughter and two wives?" --Esprqii (talk) 18:02, 14 November 2011 (UTC)
