Three events that occurred on my birth month and day: September 13th--
1814--Francis Scott Key writes The Star Spangled Banner 1922-The temperature in the shade in Libya reaches a world record 136.4 degrees F (58 degrees C) 1956--IBM introduces the first computer disk storage unit, the RAMAC305
Three people born on the same date:
1857--Milton S. Hershey, American confectioner (yum!) 1977--Fiona Apple, American singer 1916--Roald Dahl, British writer
And, finally, two people who passed away on that date:
1996--Tupak Shakur, American rapper and actor
1998--George Wallace, American politician. (a part of Alabama's prejudiced past)
All of the above was taken from the Wikipedia web site.
Interesting. : )
