1997: The Titanic movie released in the US



Image result for titanic 1997 images
We remember another anniversary of "Titanic", the 1997 movie that filled theaters here and just about everywhere else.

To be clear, I saw the movie one time and bits and pieces here and there on TV.

My grade is a "C-plus" for the story and an "A" for the choreography.   The scene about the ship sinking is stunning.   The views of the ship sailing across the ocean were superb.

Will there be another "Titanic" movie?   My guess is "yes".

1997: Hard to believe that John Denver was killed so many years ago

It's hard to believe but John Denver was killed in a plane crash on this day in 1997. 

Where has the time gone?

John Denver came up as a folk singer and composer.

His big chance came in 1969 when Peter Paul & Mary recorded "Leaving on a jet plane".       Denver 
jumped on the opportunity and released a string hits of the 1970's, such as “Take Me Home, Country Roads,” “Rocky Mountain High,” “Sunshine On My Shoulders,” “Annie’s Song,” “Back Home Again,” “Thank God I’m A Country Boy,” and “Calypso”.

His unique sound created a following on Top 40, country and folk radio stations.    

Denver faded a bit in the 1980's although his concerts still attracted huge crowds.   He always had a huge following because his songs are timeless.

We remember today a very special woman.  She was born AnjezĂ« Gonxhe Bojaxhiu in Albania in 1910 and founded the Missionaries of Charity in 1950.   
Mother Theresa touched many, including non-Catholics and non-Christians.   She was a staunch pro life voice in a world where millions of babies are aborted in the name of a “woman’s choice” or “reproductive right”.  
St. Teresa of Calcutta’s will continue to influence people for centuries with her words and legacy of good deeds.
