56 more to go......but who is keeping track:-0

So lets see what the world was doing in those pre-Dale moments. Babe Didrikson-Zaharias won the LPGA Sarasota Open. Television stations went on the air for the first time in Wichita Falls, TX, Tacoma-Seattle, WA and Altoona, PA. Television BEGAN!

And they discovered there is a correlation between finger numbness and cold winds. Yes, it is true and it is recorded in the Journal of Physiology.

These certainly were remarkable times of technology and research..........

A few more weeks and joy would come to the island. Yes, born a foreigner. But there is more to come on this topic. So settle in for the next installment, and of course prepare to celebrate 3/5 of a century with my bestest brother.
