Gday...

1903  -     Royal approval of the new Australian flag is finally gazetted.

1913  -     The first peg marking the start of development of the city of Canberra is driven in by King O'Malley. 

1981  -     An inquest into the disappearance of baby Azaria Chamberlain finds that she was taken by a dingo

1962  -     Astronaut John Glenn pilots 'Friendship 7' in the first U.S. manned orbital mission.

Cheers - John

Is it just me or do things that happened half a century ago seem relatively recent to you?

Gday...

I'm with you bob ..... the ONLY times I think I am the age my birth certificate suggests is when I look in a mirror (and see my father looking back at me cry) ... or when I bend down to pick something up ... I get down OK - but it sometimes its a long time to get back up

cheers - John

Today, in history, I was born! Today 6 years ago, my Dad went up to 'that space up there'.

So for me, it's a day to celebrate 2 lovely lives
