I don’t own a cellphone! A friend calls me a dinosaur. I don’t care. However, I do keep a datebook, and the reminder postcards I receive are a big help.
History would be much more confusing if there were no dates to align the events. Some days very little is historical, but on other days even the amateur historian could fill pages and pages with tales of good and evil. March 9, 1905, was such a day.
