This Day in History

338 BC - Battle of Chaeronea

216 BC - Battle of Cannae

1610 - Henry Hudson finds Hudson Bay while looking for the Northwest Passage

1790 - First US census

1903 - Fall of the Ottoman Empire

1905 - Myrna Loy is born

1937 - DuPont conspires with Congress to destroy the hemp industry

1943 - PT109 sinks

1990 - Iraq invades Kuwait

And forty-something years ago, I made my first appearance.

This year my son had a date with the girl in the picture while I went to work. How is that for a birthday present?
