Dear Jeff:

June Ist like any other date has fascinating factoids & we have explored social studies facts IV students in many previous blog posts.

Een. In The Netherlands in MCMXL (1940), the Nazis kicked Jewish members out of the Dutch Air Guard as well as enforced the rationing of Dutch coffee so that their own occupying troops would get Ist priority for it.

Twee. Desi Arnaz & Lucille Ball wed IV the IInd time in MCMXLIX (1949.) I guess Desi really did love Lucy.

Drie. In MCMLXXI (1971), today was the last show of The Ed Sullivan Show on the Columbia Broadcasting System (CBS) Television network.

Vier. In New Jersey, June Ist, MCMLXXXIX (1989) was the day actress Robin Givens & boxer Mike Tyson were granted a divorce.

Vijf. A year ago today in MMXIII (2013), Russia implements a national smoking ban. This affects almost all public places.

Its Uncanny How Much There is II Learn About History,

Rory
