On this day...
Aug. 9th, 2006 12:37 pm1854 - Henry David Thoreau published "Walden." One of my least favorites in high school but in college became a blessing.
1936 - African-American track star Jesse Owens won his fourth gold medal of the Olympic Games in Berlin. In 1987, I was here and saw the stadium! That same summer, Regan also said "Tear this Wall Down Mr. Gorbichov" and toured the stadium
1969 - Actress Sharon Tate and four other people were found brutally murdered in Tate's Los Angeles home; cult leader Charles Manson and several of his disciples were later convicted of the crime. I was in my mommy's tummy so I missed all this mess!
1974 - Succeeding Richard Nixon, Gerald Ford was sworn in as the 38th president of the United States of America. Wow! The Man was not quite two months old! Cradle Robber!
