Memorabilia

(~Noteworthy things)

So, I've been tagged by Luisa for this history tag game. And since I'm a good sport, and always up for a game...

1. Go to Wikipedia and enter your birthday without the year:
May 6

2. List three events that occurred that day:
a) 1536--King Henry VIII orders translated Bibles to be placed in every church

b) 1889--The Eiffel Tower is officially opened to the public at the Universal Exposition in Paris

c) 1937--Hindenburg disaster. The Hindenburg catches fire and is destroyed while trying to dock in Lakehurst, NJ, killing 36 people

3. List two important birthdays:
1856 Sigmund Freud
1931 Willie Mays

4. List one death:
1862 Henry David Thoreau

5. List one holiday or observance:
St. George's Day

Hey Mom, will you play? Lori? You've been tagged!
