We remember May 20

We remember May 20:

Cuban history:  On this day in 1902, Cuba became an independent country.   

First flight:  t was a rainy morning on May 20, 1927 but Charles Lindbergh took off to cross the Atlantic.   It  must have been one heck of a solo flight!  

Yankee history:  We remember the late Bobby Murcer born on this day in 1946.  He died in 2008.

Jeans etc:    Levi Strauss and Jacob Davis joined forces 
in 1873 and created the work pants that we now call “blue jeans”.  And so we have women wearing “blue jeans”.       Thank you Levi & Jacob!

Great movies:  We remember James Maitland Stewart who was born in Indiana, PA, on this day in 1908.   Stewart became of the greatest movie stars of the 20th, from “Winchester ’73” to “Mr. Smith goes to Washington” to “The Spirit of St. Louis” and more.  He died in 1997.  

Hard to believe:    She was born Cherilyn Sarkisian in El Centro, California in 1946.   We know her as Cher.   

Pop music:   We remember Robin Gibb (1949-2012).   Robin, along with big brother Barry and twin Maurice, formed The Bee Gees.    They became one of the legendary groups of pop music.
