MCMXII - A centennial and a half

Pictured above are Danny Thomas and Marjorie Lord, stars of  Make Room for Daddy that aired on CBS in the early fifties. (Image credit: WikiCommons)  I remember it from syndication.  I recently started a series of articles on subjects that celebrate their centennial in 2012.  Thanks to "Miss Bob," I narrowly missed getting this story.  Today, Jan. 6, 2012 is not only Epiphany, but it's the 100th anniversary of Danny Thomas's birth.  It is also the Golden Anniversary of St. Jude's Children's Research Hospital which Thomas founded.  Check out my story HERE.

MCMXII -- The series begins

First in the series was "MCMXII -- The Lost World Centennial" published on Examiner.com on December 17, 2011.

Watch for the next article about a business that spawned an international best selling book whose title became a household phrase in the 1950’s.

MCMXII

Watch for my new series of articles at Examiner.com!

Subjects will include the births and deaths of famous people, centennials of famous events, businesses, books and inventions.  In fact, anything of interest that happened in 1912 will be fodder for my column.  

Thanks for following and watch for notices on FB and Twitter.
