Belated B'day Post

This is an interesting MeMe I found over on somebody else's blog and I don't even remember who's blog it was b/c it was back in May and I can't remember back that far!
Anyway you go to Wikipedia, look up your birthday, just the month and day, not the year. Then you pick 3 events, 2 births, 1 death and 1 holiday to share with your readers.

Here's what I found interesting that happened on June 9:

3 events:
1732- James Oglethorpe is granted royal charter for the colony of Georgia;
1967 - Israel captures Golan Heights from Syria during the Six-Day War;
1973 - Secretariat wins the Triple Crown.
{ Now, I actually Remember the last two events, CLEARLY. Can't remember where I read something last MONTH, but I can remember an historical event that occurred when I was 12 y.o.}

2 Births:
1915 - Les Paul, guitarist
1981 - Natalie Portman, actress

1 Death:
1870 - Charles Dickens

1 Holiday:
Roman Empire - 3rd day of the Vestalia, in honor of Goddess Vesta who ruled the hearth, home and family.

So that's the Birthday MeMe. I thought it was fun. I also think it' gives y'all a look at how my twisted mind works. You can go to Wiki and look up June 9 and see all the same stuff I did and wonder, "Why on God's Green Earth did she pick THAT stuff?"
