Mark,
ReplyDeleteLet's set an example for the others/ Tell about what happened in the year you were born.
I was born in 1943 during World War II. The US President was Franklin D Roosevelt and US population was136,739,353 (now over 303 million, increasing @ 1 person/13 seconds).
The unemployment rate was1.9% and a first-class stamp cost just $0.03
1943 events included:
* Churchill and Roosevelt hold the Casablanca Conference.
* Mussolini is deposed and placed under arrest (July).
* Withholding tax on wages introduced.
* The Pentagon is completed and becomes the largest office building in the world.
OK everybody, what happened the year you were born?
