Throwback Thursdays ~ Fun Facts ~ 6.19.2025

Good Thursday morning, Dorie.

Thanks for sharing this interesting list of fun facts.

Good morning, Dorie... I so remember when Sally Ride went into space and became the first American woman in space. It was a proud moment for many women.

Wow, the Ferris Wheel has been a thing for a long time!

With all of this talk of space, I was surprised to wake up this morning and see the explosion at SpaceX, which Elon describes as merely a scratch, haha.

Good morning Dorie. Knew more about the events taking place before my time than the more current ones. Interesting. Enjoy your day.

Wow, I remember Sally Ride going up like it was yesterday. With Reagan in the White House 1983 seemed like almost anything was possible.

Hi Dorie,
It's interesting to note that the Bill of Rights wasn't added to the Constituion until 1891. 

Dorie, with Sussan B Anthony being fined, it seems politics has always had its share of struggles for fairness and inclusion!

June 21st looks like an important date, but not as important as June 22nd Annie's birthday

Dorie- many significant dates!  It's hard to believe the Ferris Wheel is that old. I don"t think I"ve ever ridden one. 

Dorie, it was a sad day for Sally Ride, and remember that day vividly.

Most of these facts are new to me, except the Sally Ride Day. 

Dorie I did not realize the Ferris Wheel has been around that long.

Hello Dorie and thank you for this week history lesson,  I remember a couple of them but others past me by.

Hi Dorie:

Thanks for the history! I certainly remember Sally Ride's historic moment but some of the others are a distant memory.
