Thanks, Miss Eadie!

I added that vital bit of information to today's Featured Threads list of important events for this day in history. Here's how it reads now. Cool

________________________________

Mondays don’t get a lot of love, but today’s date — May 13th — has been fairly eventful. For example:

1607 - Jamestown settlers arrive.

1973 - First Battle of the Sexes: On May 13, 1973, during the early years of the women’s liberation movement, tennis stars Bobby Riggs and Margaret Court battle in a widely televised tennis match. She lost the match, 6-2, 6-1.

1960 - US atomic submarine USS Triton completes 1st submerged circumnavigation of the globe.

1992 - 3 astronauts simultaneous walked in space for the 1st time.

2019 - Robert "Butch" Day turns 70 years old, which makes him the same age I was when I saw The Space Children in 1958! (In "dog years", that is . . . Laughing

)
