On This Date April 22: A Unique Glimpse at What ELSE Happened on YOUR Day

Explore a very special slice of the past...the events that occurred over the centuries on April 22. How many times did something that happened on that day change the course of history from that moment forward? Some were born, some died, music was composed, wars were won (or lost, depending upon one's viewpoint), weather events changed the face of the earth. A booklet has been created for each day of the year, and we feel it is the most complete and eclectic collection of events to be found anywhere. Gleaned from the annals of dusty history, encyclopedias, newspapers, almanacs and of course the Internet. Sports, arts and entertainment, political history, business events and what can only be described as trivia are included

Curtis Vanaudestrade was born on the same day as Newt Gingrich and Barry Manilow (June 17, 1946) and the infamous Watergate break-in occurred on his birthday. He spent his childhood traveling around the United States and Europe due to his father’s career as an executive for the Kaiser Corporation, including his last 2 years of high school in Switzerland where he learned to ski and rock climb as part of the physical education curriculum. After a long and varied career, he is now semi-retired in Largo, Florida where he lives with his wife and spends time volunteering for Veterans’ programs and organizations working towards sanity in the mental health industry in addition to scouring the news each day for interesting events to add to this series of booklets.
