Throwback Thursdays ~ Fun Facts ~ 8.10.2023

Hi Dorie... I start feeling "old" when I realize I remember well things like the first artificial heart pump, Nixon's resignation, Mall of America opening as if it was just a few years ago. I seem to have misplaced my invitation to the space wedding... no recollection of that more recent event whasoever.

Hi Dorie,

I do concur with Nina Hollander, Broker but still enjoy reading some of the history of each week you post.  

Hello Dorie and thank you for the history lesson on these dates to share with us.  Make it a great day!

Hi Dorie- I always look to see how many of the historic dates happened during my lifetime. I'm glad to see that more of them happened prior to my birth this week. Some weeks it's the opposite. Being a Houstonian, I know the name DeBakey very well. 

Thank you for today's history highlights!

I had just read about the lady who swam the channel, in relation to the news reporter another woman who was in a boat next to het the whole way. I did not know two cosmonauts got married in space but that and several other interesting events around these dates.

Ah Thoreau and Walden's Pond, what an incredibly thoughtful, almost philosophical book.

Dorie, I have heard of the Mall of America, but never been there.  But, then again, not a big shopper.

Dorie it seems just like yesterday I was hearing the news of the first artificial heart pump.

Those are all very interesting facts, Dorie.  Just yesterday, I was trying to remember when it was that Japan surrendered during WWII.

There are a lot of dates there that don't mean much to me and I am learning about for the first time today, haha.
