Guest Ron Posted October 9, 2005 Share Posted October 9, 2005 Happy Birthday Lisa (Robins72), here are some facts about your special day;Happy Birthday to You, the four-line ditty was written as a classroom greeting in 1893 by two Louisville teachers, Mildred J. Hill, an authority on Negro spirituals, and Dr. Patty Smith Hill, professor emeritus of education at Columbia University. The melody of the song Happy Birthday to You was composed by Mildred J. Hill, a schoolteacher born in Louisville, KY, on June 27, 1859. The song was first published in 1893, with the lyrics written by her sister, Patty Smith Hill, as "Good Morning To All." ON THIS DAY - 1967Che Guevera ShotMarxist revolutionary Ernesto 'Che' Guevara has reportedly been killed during a battle between army troops and guerillas in the Bolivian jungle.A statement issued by the commander of the Eighth Bolivian Army Division, Colonel Joaquin Zenteno Anaya, said the 39-year-old guerrilla leader was shot dead near the jungle village of Higueras, in the south-east of the country.Guevara, former right-hand man to Cuban prime minister, Fidel Castro, disappeared from the political scene in April 1965 and his whereabouts have been much debated since.His death has been reported several times during the past two-and-a-half years, in the Congo and in the Dominican Republic, but has never been proven. Happy Birthday P.S - I hope it makes you very happy that you share your day with the death of a crazy guy who looks like David Brent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
