14 November- a quick search of the famous search engine application that rhymes with Dougall lists some well-known identities with birthdays falling on the fourteenth day of the eleventh month:
William III (1650)
Claude Monet (1840)
Boutros Boutros-Ghali (1922) a name so nice he used it twice
P.J. O'Rourke (1947)
Next King of England and the Commonwealth (maybe) (1948)
Mozart -Johann Georg Leopold, not Amadeus (1719)
And some musical events of note:
Leonard Bernstein made his debut with the New York Philharmonic (1943)
Black Magic Woman by Santana was released (1970)
The band Queen was formed (1971)
And a few historical events:
Hungarian uprising crushed by the USSR (1956)
Apollo XII blasted off for the moon (1969)
Blue Ribbon Sports became Nike (1972)
BoaB and Dee wed (1981) Okay so that one didn't actually come up in the search results.
And on that note, the historical and romantic significance of which cannot be surpassed, I give you this link of one of my favourite songs which pretty much sums up the way I feel today, our 30th anniversary, and every day.
Cheers- ride safe
BoaB

Aw Scottie, you know Stan Rodgers always makes me weep. Thanks for carrying my whole past into the present. hasn't it been a great journey so far.
It has and I can't think of anyone with whom I would rather have made the trip. And as Stan says, "I want to see your smiling face forty-five years from now."
I offer this song to my friends from the Maritimes on the special occasion of their 30th wedding anniversary.
