    4. What else important happened on the day you were born?
    What else important happened on the day you were born?

    I'm filling out a Grandma Remembers for my grandchildren and one of the questions is "What we're the headlines on the day you were born?"


    All I could find was football standout,  Lynn Swan, was also born. Not big news then, either.

      Wednesday, 22 February 1956




       



      It was Wednesday, under the sign of Pisces. The US president was Dwight D. Eisenhower (Republican). In that special week of February people in US were listening to The Great Pretender by The Platters. In UK Sixteen Tons by Tennessee Ernie Ford was in the top 5 hits. Doctor at Sea, directed byRalph Thomas, was one of the most viewed movies released in 1956 whileTen North Frederick by John O'Hara was one of the best selling books.

                      Well I was born with one name , later given different name. I came from an adoption agency. Not really sure birth date. But it really don't matter to me. I've had a good life how I am. I have two different birth certificates.

                      Whyou were you given a second birth certificate. If they were issued in the same county, the document number may help you get the truth.

                        The 6062 has received a bit of good press recently with the monumental sale of the Bao Dai followed up by the strong result of the "Dark Star" link and it's a reference serious collectors link are talking about link a lot. The 8171 however still remains a bit of an underdog though it feels like we are one great discovery away from this watch breaking into the collecting mainstream.
