Teri has tagged me.
Here are the rules: You go to Wikipedia and type in your birthday (month and day) Then you write down 3 events, 2 births, 1 holiday, and tag 5 friends.

1902 - The Carnegie Institution is founded in Washington, DC with a $10 million gift from Andrew Carnegie.
1934 - The first ski tow in America begins operation in Vermont.

Births.

4. At the end of your blog, you need to choose eight people to get tagged and list their names.
5. Don’t forget to leave them a comment telling them they’re tagged, and to read your blog.

Eight Things About Me:

2. I still use Windows 95.
3. I cleared some loft space recently and found many memories.

Dick; Can you see me?

Teri; Like your tattoo. I might get one too, but Nobody™ would see it. I have emailed all those I tagged, Jane Austen replied with extreme prejudice, Andrew Carnegie & Steve Austin both sent six million dollars, John Barclay told me to fask off, Herbert Stuart coughed a lot, Colin Leyden is still programming the PLC5 to get that box up the ramp, James E. Hall sent two sausage rolls and Ronald McDonald sent a hamburger.

Quite a good response really.
