"Seems like a boring date in history.........how about birthdays?"

Mike, there goes that mind-meld thing again.

Born October 18,1930-Carl Berkowitz (carlberky), a boy to Irving and Esther Berkowitz, in Brooklyn, NY

So far, the most significant events in my life.

# the day I was born.
# when I became a man ... and I don't mean my Bar Mitzva.
# when I met Ruth and fell in love.
# when Stephanie was born.
# when circuit boards I designed went on a trip to Mars.
# when Ruth and Stephanie were taken from me.
# when I realized that getting old may have its drawbacks, but it's still better than the alternitive.

One more event to go ...

Carl,

A very merry 88th birthday to you my good friend!

Tommy the "Motor City Cobra" Hearns picked a great day to be born.

Weird that I veered from historical events to birthdays on the day in history that happened to be our most dependable/engaged  "this day in history"  poster's birthday!

Considering your hard work to battle back from a path that was leading towards that last significant event, I sincerely hope that it doesn't happen for years to come.........and that I continue to enjoy knowing you between now and then.

Thank you for the kind words, my friend.
