Here it is, a complete document of the precise history of what was happening on my birthday the past ten years. Keep in mind that ten years ago was actually 1989, not 1988. It may not be what you would call interesting, but I will try. I have taken each January 13th of the past ten years and put some of the events that happened in different categories that will help correlate my paper and make it easier to read. Rather than start with just the past ten years, it would be a shame not to share with you some of the more important outside the past ten years that occurred on January 13th. I would like to enlighten you on some of the other great events that occurred on this important date throughout history with a brief overview of some trivial facts I have found. The earliest, and most unique event that I found other than troop movements in the Mexican war, was the patenting of the accordion on Jan 13, 1854, in 1906 the first radio receivers were advertised for $7.50 in the “Scientific America Magazine”, in 1942 Henry Ford patented the plastic automobile which made for a 30% weight decrease in cars, and Elvis recorded the song, “All Shook Up” on January 13, 19571. (These were interesting to me so I thought should tell about them). Famous songs toping the charts on this day include: I got you (I feel good) by James Brown, Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds by the Beatles, and You look so good in love by George Straight2. Let’s not forget to add list of important people, (other than me), that bask in the glory of this day:1885 - Alfred Fuller (company founder: The Fuller Brush man!)1908 - Earl Wheeler (WWII U.S. Army General, Chairman of the U.S. Joint Chief of Staff [1964-70]; namesake for Hawaii's Wheeler Army Air Force Base)1909 - Danny Berker (guitarist)1909 - Butter (Quentin) Jackson (musician: trombone: played with Duke Ellington)1913 - Wayne Miliner (football)1913 - Jeff Morrow (actor: The Robe; The Creature ...
