Throwback Thursday ~ Fun Facts ~ 11.7.2024

The iron ore ship Edmund Fitzgerald vanishes Nov. 10 in Lake Superior. - and Gordon Lightfoot made a great song out of it.

I didn't know about Sesame Street for a couple of years Dorie, but then after our kids were born, it was on every morning at our home!

Very cool list, I love to see the events and dates, thinking wow, so long ago.  PS-I love Gordon Lightfoot.   

Oh my goodness, Dorie... Monopoly! My favorite game as a kid. We spent hours playing Monopoly. And we've spent countless hours playing Monopoly with our kids and grandkids all those years later! I still have a Monopoly game in my house from when I was a kid.

Good morning Dorie. I know some, but not quite old enough for personal experience with anything 1952 or before, ha, ha. Enjoy your day.

Hmm, I didn't even know that the White House had a website and I have never visited it myself, haha.

So in 30 years we have gone from the first White House website to AI getting ready to end civilization as we know it...lol

WOW! Dorie. What an amazing list that does back into history for many of us. I remember Sesame Street being on TV back in 69. It kept the kids interested on Saturday morning, and was very educational too. 

Thank you very much, Dorie, for sharing this interesting list of historical facts.

Hello Dorie and I remember the the game Monopoly and use to play it so much back in my early teens with friends.  Miss playing it now.

So many interesting facts for the week.

Armistice Day, Nov 11, 1918  is important to me as my father's brother was born on that day in Erie, PA. He was a support for me when I needed him and for that alone I can never forget him

Hi Dorie- I started humming the song by Gordon Lightfoot when I read about the Edmund Fitzgerald.  It's funny what pops into our minds. 

Dorie I have lived through the first three of these, and I am surprised they go back as far as they do.

I hadn't realized that the Edmond Fitzgerald disappeared in 1975.  I am reminded of the song by that title which was sung by Gordon Lightfoot.

CONGRATULATIONS Dorie, on having this blog FEATURED in the Old Farts Clubgroup!  

Dorie Dillard Austin TX  besides the Gordon Lightfoot song I did not realize that the ship sank only in 1975... thought it was much much longer when it happened.... now same about Monopoly thought that has been around longer than that, Endre
