Here's my day in history. I expect a lot of you won't even know what an 45rpm record is and I must admit the first international pancake race was news to me, I wonder if this still happens? It's nice to know that I'm as young as dear Rudolph, I've always loved that Christmas song. I don't know my birth weight (wish I didn't know my current one) but had the time and place.

Some of the things that happened in 1949 other than my birth were:

Rodgers and Hammerstein debut the musical "South Pacific" on Broadway

George Orwell's book 1984 is published

First Polaroid Camera sold for $89.95

1st International Pancake Race held (Liberal Ks)

RCA Perfects a system for broadcasting color television

45 rpm discs are introduced

Siam changes its name to Thailand

"Hopalong Cassidy" becomes 1st network western (NBC)

BBC radio begins broadcasting

NATO, North Atlantic Treaty Organization, goes into effect

"Rudolph, the Red-Nosed Reindeer" appears on music charts
