mekslibrarian on Anniversaries in 2025Your anniversaries posts are always great. I love to read the headlines, trying to match them with what I remember (or know from history lessons and other reading), and always find fascinating information. Thank you!
V.M.Sang on Anniversaries in 2025Hey, I just managed to get here! At last. Great post.
Peter's pondering on Anniversaries in 2025You had fun getting this one to press Mike, and what a marathon you must have had in putting it together. Well done indeed.
John on Anniversaries in 2025Wow, Mike, that took a long time to get through but it is so interesting! America has boring history by comparison! I appreciate your work, have a great weekend!
