I received a message from another individual who has asked
why I had stopped listing 'This Day in History...' type items
in my signature.  Given that several had asked, I guess I'll
start-up again.

In the local newscast last night there was a piece on the
beginning of training for a 70-ish year-old down at NASA, who
will be the oldest person to fly in space...seems kinda ironic
that he is also the subject of today's 'This day in History....'!
