On this day…
1913 – Henry Ford’s assembly line in Highland Park, Michigan starts rolling out the chassis for the Model-T.
1916 – Georgia Tech and Cumberland University of Tennessee play the highest scoring college game ever – if you could call it a game – Georgia scored 32 touchdowns to win 222-0
1959 – Cue Pink Floyd – NASA takes the first photos of the dark side of the moon
1971 – The French Connection with Gene Hackman premiers in New York and LA. It showcases one of the most iconic car chases in movie history
1983 – Sean Connery reprises his role as 007 in Never Say Never Again. Connery had “retired” and Roger Moore assumed the role of James Bond in 1973. Connery was talked back out of retirement to make this film for a different producer other than EON Productions. It showed, in my opinion, as probably the least Bond-like of all of the films
1985 – Lynette Woodward becomes the first woman to put on a Harlem Globetrotters jersey
1996 – Fox News Channel hits the airwaves
2001 – We take the Afghanistan War to the Taliban after 9/11
Happy Birthday to…

Enjoy the day and make it your own
