Discussion about this date:
It was the date of my father's death. And as I awoke tonight, three nights earlier, from a dream about his dying, I searched for the date and came upon your website. Thanks for the memories, as Bob Hope used to sing. And thanks, too: I've wondered why the song "Vaya con Dios" was in my head recently, and now I know: surely Mom must have either sung it to my father's memory, or broken down every time she heard it. Tears for you, too, Mom.
(And if I may, the Ed Sullivan photo with The Beatles is out of synch. Maybe you could find a chronologically better one.)
