Farewell & RIP to M/Sgt Paul J. Wiedorfer, Medal of Honor recipient. Also to 124 people in Joplin, Missouri.
Born May 26th:
James Arness, Roy Dotrice, Alec McCowen, Jack Kevorkian, Teresa Stratas, Brent Musburger, Levon Helm, Garry Peterson, Stevie Nicks, Pam Grier, Philip Michael Thomas, Joe Alaskey, Hank Williams Jr., Sally Ride, Sen. Kay Hagan, Genie Francis, Lenny Kravitz, Helena Bonham Carter,
and, unofficially, it's National Paper Airplane Day. Also, on this day in 1940, a flotilla of "little ships" began a mass evacuation of British, French and Belgian troops cut off by the German army during the Battle of Dunkirk.
Note that there may be some degree of discontinuity in these posts over the next few weeks. Let's just say reality rears its somewhat-less-than-gorgeous head yet again.
