Hi Folks It has been a while since I have posted to our blog so I thought
I would ease myself into it with a trusted favourite. 1990 – The Hubble Space Telescope sent back its first photographs. It is hard to believe that this piece of kit is floating around us. Most of us don’t even have cars that old and yet it is still there sending back great pictures of places we will never go to.
1927 – Charles Lindbergh took off from New York to cross the
Atlantic for Paris aboard his airplane the "Spirit of St. Louis." The trip took 33 1/2 hours. Obviously there was no ash cloud to worry about then.
1506 – In Spain, Christopher Columbus died in poverty.
As for Birthdays today, it is Cher’s . She was born in 1946
making her 64 years old today. Thus demonstrating that the bunny huggers are not wrong, plastic really does last forever.
And last but not least, today two years ago the great Frank Sinatra died. As it turns out Frank Sinatra died on the 14th of May 1998.
So he doesn’t belong in this post at all. Ain’t that a bugger!!!

Actually Francis Albert “Frank” Sinatra (pronounced /sɨˈnÉ‘ËtrÉ™/; born December 12, 1915 – Died May 14, 1998, definitely not 2 years as per your post!
I stand corrected. Mick is quite right. I guess that is what you get when you believe everything you see on the net.
