Good Day!

On April 15...

... 1912 - The Titanic sank off the coast of Newfoundland on its maiden voyage after it struck an iceberg.


...1947 - Jackie Robinson became the first African-American player in Major League Baseball when he stepped onto Ebbets Field in Brooklyn to compete for the Brooklyn Dodgers.


...1955 - Ray Kroc acquired McDonald's and opened his first restaurant in Des Plaines, Ill.


...1956 - The worlds’ first, all-color TV station was dedicated. It was WNBQ-TV in Chicago and is now WMAQ-TV.


...1981 - This happy little guy was born!

By the way, I share a birthday with this guy, this guy, and this girl!

Also, in true Utah weather form, it snowed again on my birthday. Sadly, this is not uncommon.

  4. Ok, so I wasn't creative on facebook and I didn't write you a poem nor wish you a Happy Birthday on your wall. HOWEVER I did wish you a Happy Birthday in MY status...that counts for something right? Aside from that how can I forget someone's birthday that I have known my whole life?!?! Hope you had a great day and HAPPY BIRTHDAY my friend!
