the wiki incident
So, Laura wants us to go to Wikipedia, type in our birth date (but not year), list three events that happened on our birthday, list two important births and one interesting death. We are then to post this in your journal. A guessing game of sorts.
So, here we go:
1719 - The Boston Gazette is published for the first time.
1903 - The city of Fairfield, California is incorporated.
1917 - In Nebraska, Father Edward J. Flanagan founds Boys Town as a farm village for wayward boys.
b. 1805 - William Lloyd Garrison, American abolitionist (d. 1879)
b. 1924 - Ed Koch, past Mayor of New York City
d. 1968 - Tallulah Bankhead, American actress (b. 1902)
Have at it, yo!
