1963 is my birth year, so I've always paid attention to it. My best friend was at that famous gathering in DC with Martin Luther King, and has wonderful memories of it.
I'm celebrating my 50th right along with Jack and Ennis!
We commemorated the sinking of the Thresher back in April, and are coming up on J&E's first meeting.
How cool to think about that auspicious summer of '63.

You're right, Paul, about my sig. I had no idea when I chose it that it represented the year Jack and Ennis went up the mountain as well. 8)
Lots of auspiciousness going on this year! I hope you have something special planned for your 50th. 8)

August 28, 2013. The 50th anniversary of the March on Washington in 1963, and I am listening to Barack Obama, our first African-American President, begin his speech at the Lincoln Memorial. I'm so glad to be alive to see this day. By the 100th anniversary, what will our country be like? Will it hardly matter what the race of the President is? I hope so. May the dream of Martin Luther King be realized fully and our country continue to grow in understanding and goodwill. :-*

Maybe we'll have a gay president by then. ;D

We have already had a gay president, haven't we??

Are you referring to James Buchanan?
