ICE at the airport is a neat idea

ICE at the airport is a neat idea:

So, welcome ICE or anyone else who wants our airports to operate like airports again. Don't be surprised if ICE agents get the best reception that uniformed men got since the Allies liberated Paris.

We remember Aretha Franklin (1942-2018)

Aretha Louise Franklin was born in Memphis, Tennessee, on this day in 1942.  She died in 2018.

Her father was Baptist preacher Reverend Clarence La Vaughan "C. L." Franklin. 

Her mother was Barbara Siggers Franklin, a gospel singer.

In the spring of 1967, Aretha had her first # 1 with "Respect", an Otis Redding song.   She had many more hits after that.   

In 1987, Aretha became the first female artist to be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

1634: The settlement of Maryland

On this day in 1634, the first colonists arrived at St. Clement’s Island and found the settlement of St. Mary’s.    The territory was named Maryland in honor of Henrietta Maria, the queen consort of Charles I. 

Today, Maryland is known for its wonderful seafood, the city of Baltimore, Fort McHenry and popular sports teams.

We remember Jack Ruby (1911-1967)

Jack Ruby was born Chicago on this day in 1911 and died of cancer in 1967.  

As far as we know, Ruby never changed his story about killing Lee Harvey Oswald.     Apparently, Ruby did not want Jackie Kennedy to come to a trial.   He took that explanation or story to his grave.

For the record, I believe that Oswald shot President Kennedy on his own.  I came to that conclusion after reading Gerald Posner’s “Case closed” in the 1990’s.

We remember Joseph Barbera (1911-2006)

We remember Joe Barbera who died in 2006 and was born on this day in New York in 1911.

I did not know that he was the creator of all of these cartoon characters:   Tom and Jerry, Yogi Bear, Scooby-Doo, the Flintstones & the Jetsons.   

What a great and creative life!
