A Little Bit of History That I Own

A couple of years ago my father-in-law and I were cleaning out a barn in East Texas and came across a garbage bag that included this newspaper.  It’s dated November 23, 1963 with the price of $0.05.  It’s now stored in a cool dry place.

If you are interested in a high-resolution version of the pic just click here.

On the radio the other day I heard that Lee Harvey Oswald’s daughter actually grew up in Dallas and graduated high school in 1980.  Can you imagine the amount of teasing that she received?

Movember

Movember (the month formerly known as November) is a charity event held during November each year.

At the start of Movember guys register with a clean shaven face. The Movember participants, known as Mo Bros, then have the remainder of the month to grow and groom their Mo (Australian slang for moustache), raising money and awareness along the way for men’s health and the fight against prostate cancer.

Why?

Men lack awareness about the very real health issues they face. Many feel they have to be tough – “a real man” – and are reluctant to see a doctor about an illness or to go for regular medical check ups.

The aim of Movember is to change these attitudes and make men’s health fun by putting the Mo back on the face of American men while raising some serious funds for the number one men’s health issue, prostate cancer
