THIS DAY IN HISTORY

1494 – Columbus landed in Jamaica — he named it Santa Gloria

1809 – Mary Kies of CT is the first woman to be granted a patent — for the technique of weaving straw with silk & thread

1821 – Napoleon Bonaparte died on the island of St Helena

1891 – Carnegie Hall opened in NYC — the guest conductor that day was Peter Tchaikovsky

1978 – Ben & Jerry opened ‘Ben & Jerry’s Ice Cream and Crepes’ store in Burlington VT (I guess the crepes didn’t sell.)

2000 – The Sun, Earth, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn all aligned… leading to doomsday predictions (They were wrong.)
