Have a great day!

A smattering of historical highlights:

1921 - Franklin D. Roosevelt was stricken with polio.

1928    Sausage maker, and I believe singer, Jimmy Dean was born. Sausage fat content attributes to the beginnings of obesity in            America (or so I say).

1943    Hitler watches lynching of allied pilots

1961    Agent Orange is used for the first time in Vietnam by the U.S. Army.

1969    Manson cult members kill Leno and Rosemary LaBianca ,one day after having killed actress Sharon Tate.

1977    A 24-year old postal employee by the name of Newman David Berkowitz, AKA "Son of Sam," is arrested in Yonkers, New York

1978    Three Indiana teenage girls, all members of the Ulrich family, are killed when their 1973 Ford Pinto is rear-ended, bursting            into flames. This accident led to the litigation against Ford Motor Company. In 1979, Ford sent the Urlichs a recall notice for            the Pinto. Mercury changes slogan for similar vehicle to "Don't get burned. Buy a Bobcat." (or so I heard)

1984    Mary Decker trips on heel of Zola Budd during 3,000m Olympic run (kind of hilarious).

1985 - 2013 The world experiences pure bliss only to be ruined in...

2014    Thirty-nine people are killed in a plane crash at Tehran's Mehrabad airport.

2015 - Today. Wikipedia drops ball on their "reporting."

 

Have a great day!
