Month In Review

Let's get busy with some news.


Obama skipped church last Sunday. Instead he had a phone conversation with his mentor the Reverend Wright.




Hillary dodged more bullets from the press than she did on her trip in 1996 to Bosnia.



One of my all time favorite ice skaters retired.


BERLIN - Two-time Olympic champion Katarina Witt has ended her show career on ice with a final performance as Carmen - the role that accompanied her greatest triumph.

What a girl/woman!!


One of my favorite actors died.


Richard Widmark, March 26: The tough-guy actor, who crafted one of film's most repulsive villians for 1947's 'Kiss of Death' and later went on to portray cops, killers and gunslingers in dozens more films, died at home in Connecticut after a long illness. He was 93.

Anyone close to my age will know what a great actor he was.


D.B. Cooper's Parachute Possibly Found

SEATTLE- Hoping to solve at least part of a 36-year-old mystery, the FBI is analyzing a torn, tangled parachute found in southwest Washington to determine if it belonged to famed plane hijacker D.B. Cooper.



D. B. Cooper the man, the myth, the legend.

If it is Cooper's parachute, that will solve one mystery — where he apparently landed — but it will raise another, Carr said.

In 1980, a family on a picnic found $5,880 of Cooper's money in a bag on a Columbia River beach, near Vancouver.

Some investigators believed it might have been washed down to the beach by the Washougal River. But if Cooper landed near Amboy and stashed the money bag there, there's no way it could have naturally reached the Washougal.

"If this is D.B. Cooper's parachute, the money could not have arrived at its discovery location by natural means," Carr said. "That whole theory is out the window."

This story is better than a Dime Store Novel. I hope this is not a hoax and the legend continues.

This is a much better mystery than the whereabouts of Jimmy Hoffa.

And last but not least....

The Peace Symbol Turns 50





When artist Gerald Holtom created the design for the peace symbol in 1958, one activist thought the three simple lines inside of a circle -- based on the semaphore symbols for the letters N and D, for nuclear disarmament -- would never catch on. Half a century later, it's hard to imagine a peace protest without one.

Peace and Love to all of my readers out there.
