What happened on October 6th?


JFK museum - South Boston, MA

6th October, 1961: President John F. Kennedy advises American families to build bomb shelters to protect them from atomic fallout in the event of a nuclear war. Many Americans did prepare for nuclear war by buying up canned goods and building backyard bomb shelters. Also at the time many home builders offered a bomb shelter as part of new home packages.

 


Yankee Stadium hall of fame

 
6th October, 1926: Babe Ruth sets new record in World Series with three home runs and a 10-5 win over the Cardinals.

6th October, 2009: my first post was published in this blog!! I can't believe it has been one year already; I am very honored and touched by the comments and support received along this year; in 365 days I can proudly count 60 followers, 81 posts, several image changes (on my blog that is), but foremost, many many blog  friends I've found (and that have found me) via the blogger community.
 
In case you are wondering what did I post on my first day:

THANK YOU ALL!!!!

  2. Okay, Olga...I was wondering if you were just noting some interesting happenings on this day, and kept reading, thinking it was a great idea to look back on history once in a while, until I got to the end. What a great way to celebrate the year. I'm a "newborn" blogger--began this summer. However, already I am hooked on the community I'm connecting with.

    Happy Birth on the Blog Day!

  12. Olga, muchas felicidades!!! Un año y muchas entradas después, estoy seguro de que el blog te ha hecho una mejor persona (aún mejor de lo que ya eras). Porque escribir es mágico, es un ejercicio de absoluta soledad, como nacer o morir. Aunque haya testigos es uno mismo el que escribe, en un espacio que no puede ser más íntimo, el de las ideas.

    Te mando un gran abrazo, la reiteración de todo el cariño que te tengo, que les tengo... y una disculpa por haberme perdido un tiempo como para darte la impresión (equivocada, espero) de que he cambiado algunas prioridades.

    Builders offer lots of things to sell houses these days, but thankfully, a bonus bombshelter is not one of them!

    TGIF!
