Sharing history
On June 12th in addition to our sweeties being born, the following occurred.1897 - Carl Elsener patented his penknife. The object later became known as the Swiss army knife.
1923 - Harry Houdini, while suspended upside down 40 feet above the ground, escaped from a strait jacket.
1939 - The National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum was dedicated in Cooperstown, New York. This was exactly one hundred years to the day on which the game was invented by Abner Doubleday.
Daddy would be proud to share the date with the invention of his favorite past time.
P.S. Due to my new "favorite past times", there will likely be more monthly updates here. (it's hard to type with only one hand and a baby or two in the other...)
