Utah Bob #35998 Posted October 25, 2019 Share Posted October 25, 2019 We are awash in historicality this week are we not? St Crispian’s Day. Charge of the Light Brigade, National Greasy Foods Day. On this day in AD 1966, the young barely fuzzy-cheeked Utah bid farewell to family and friends and began his journey into the loving arms of Uncle Sam. Quite a 4 year ride it was. Yeah I made up a word. I should be a sportscaster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
