Hi Dorie... I've only been around for the first three events. Of course in 1949 I would not have been aware about anything regarding the LPGA! But I do remember when USA Today came out... not that I ever read it. Wall Street Journal was more my speed in the 1980's. :)

Hi Dorie- I love your Throwbacks Thursdays posts. It always inspires me to dig deeper into some of the historical events. I do remember USA Today. We subscribed to it and Larry's dad loved reading it when he visited us.

Good evening Nina Hollander, Broker ,

I was surprised it was so long ago the LPGA was formed. Women have fought a long time for women's sports in our country! And are still fighting to retain their right.

Good evening Joan Cox ,

9/11 was a day that I won't ever forgot and I feel our grandchildren need to know and understand it was a day our country was attacked by terrorist's on our own soil!

It's neat to look back.  I recognize all of those things but could not have told you when they began, haha.

There is alway plenty of history if we want to look back. The real question is: Have we learned anything buy knowing what has happened in the past?
