Today’s date is one of great importance in human history. Amongst many other notable events, the Civil War began in 1861 at Ft. Sumter, cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin became the first human to orbit our planet in 1961, in 1945 Franklin D. Roosevelt died in office, The Space Shuttle Columbia lifted off in 1981 on the very first Shuttle mission, Disneyland Paris opens (under the name Euro Disney Resort) in 1992, and Tiny Tim is born in 1932 to questioningly tiptoe through our auditory tulips.
