    My son was born December 31 at about four PM; just in time to count on our tax form for that year. :D

    It's December 6th, today, and on this day in 1877, the first recording was made of the human voice. It was Thomas Edison, reciting "Mary had a little lamb".


    On this date, in 1960, the American League grants Gene Autry a franchise, the Los Angelo's Angels.

    Our friend, December, has been giving us the cold shoulder, lately...but that's his job, I guess!;)

    He tells me that on this date, in 1972, Apollo 17, the last Moon Mission,is launched. The crew takes the photo, known as "The Blue Marble", as they leave the Earth.

    In 1992, on this date, the Galileo spacecraft passes the North Pole of the Moon (Peary Crater).

    Where was I in 1998? What did the files reveal? Was he part of the Mafia or no? I can't believe I'm just now getting in on this delightful thread. Where have I been in 2015 :D

    What did the files reveal?
    "A memo quoted an informant as saying Sinatra had rented the entire floor of a New Jersey hotel for the party and that "Sinatra enjoys surrounding himself with hoodlums." It said he "would give up his show business prominence to be a hoodlum himself if he had the courage to do so."

    Another memo described Sinatra as having a "mob complex."
