1912 Don Porter - Actor (Our Miss Brooks, The Candidate, Bachelor in Paradise, Private Secretary, Gidget, The Ann Sothern Show)

What I remember of him was always of a suave, businessman father type. Always frustrated at his daughter's antics and, of course, with Our Miss Brooks. I think he had a low profile as an actor but did a lot of things.

1991 Theodor Seuss Giesel, age 87 - Children's author, better known as Dr. Seuss (The Cat in the Hat, Fox in Sox, And To Think That I Saw It On Mulberry Street, Horton Hears a Who, How The Grinch Stole Christmas, Green Eggs and Ham) He died in La Jolla, California

I'd get his books for Rene' every month through the mail. Then each daughter after enjoyed those books too. You'd think I'd know them by heart as I'd read them over and over to each daughter.

1960 The USS Enterprise, the first nuclear-powered aircraft carrier, was launched at Newport News, Virginia

I wonder if Gene Roddenberry named Star Trek's Enterprise after this. I wonder if Connie would know.
