I didn't know about Mae West, either...and I remember when Eastwood was elected and thinking it would be fun to go to Carmel and maybe get to spot him. Never did,though. :-)Miralee Ferrellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09431092886100324593noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4271375082145370896.post-39044707789574124442017-04-14T21:41:57.981-04:002017-04-14T21:41:57.981-04:00Martha, My mom has a lot of memories of listening ...Martha, My mom has a lot of memories of listening to the radio...especially some of the shows that came prior to TV. <br /><br />Wow!

Wow, that is really wild about Mae West. :-) Melissa Hendersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05180284059716992887noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4271375082145370896.post-30009328080536595712017-04-13T10:05:52.048-04:002017-04-13T10:05:52.048-04:00I remember listening to Churchill speak on the rad...I remember listening to Churchill speak on the radio. We children were not allowed to talk when he or President Roosevelt spoke to the nation.<br /><br />Just a few days more and you would have included two very significant April events. President Lincoln was shot at Ford Theater on April 14, 1865 and died on Saturday, April 15, not quite one week after Appomattox. Ironically, the 14th was Good Friday and his death came the next day. April is also a historical month for Texas in that we defeated Santa Anna and gained our Independence to become the Republic of Texas. <br /><br />April seems to be a month filled with historic events. Thanks for letting us know about more of them. Martha W.

I was more familiar with the Civil War battles and brave individuals during this era since it's been one of my favorite historical era to read about. <br /><br />Thank you for sharing all the history during the first part of April through the years.
