So staying in this apartment complex may not be a complete loss....I mean we do get handy monthly newsletters. This month they have included an interesting recollection of events that have previously happened in the month of April.
I have posted them for your enjoyment:
1564: Playwright and poet William Shakespeare was born.
1775: On his midnight ride, Paul Revere warned Americans the British were coming.
1789: The oath of office to be the first U.S. president was administered to George Washington. (I wonder why we have now moved it to January? I would have been happy with 4 more months of George W!!)
1800: Library of Congress was established.
1861: The Civil War started when Confederate troops fired on Fort Sumter.
1865: President Abraham Lincoln was assassinated in Ford's Theatre in Washington D.C.
1896: The first Olympic Games of the modern era took place in Athens, Greece.
1912: The luxury liner Titanic struck an iceberg and sunk near Newfoundland.
1917: Following a vote by Congress the United States entered WWI.
1981: The first space shuttle, called Columbia, was launched.
1995: Sandra Day O'Connor became the first female to preside over the Supreme Court.
