Interesting Meme...

After reading Susan's blog yesterday, I just had to try this really neat meme...

What you do is go to
Wikipedia and type your birthdate..month and day only into the search box. And then you list 3 events, 2 births and one holiday.

My birthday is: February 6

3 Events:

1788 - Massachusetts becomes the sixth state to ratify the United States Constitution.

1952 - Elizabeth II becomes Queen upon the death of her father George VI. At the exact moment of succession, she was in a treehouse at the Treetops Hotel in Kenya.

1978 - The Blizzard of 1978, one of the worst Nor'easters in New England history, hit the region, with sustained winds of 65 mph and snowfall of 4" an hour.

2 Births:

1943 - Fabian, American singer

Thanks for your visit...And yes, Lee was a regular on "Barnaby Jones"...and it is funny, one of the first jobs I got when I went back to working as an actress, was on "Barbaby"...and it was like a Theatre West reunion...Jacquie Scott,(At the lunch on Thursday) had the Guest Starring role and my one nice scene was with her and Lee, and John Carter, another TW Member, as well as Buddy Ebsen...What a nice way to return to acting---to be working with friends!
I think she looks fabulous with her hair au natural!
