NOT QUITE A HEADLINE

   TUESDAY, JUNE 29TH, 2021

    NOT QUITE A HEADLINE

   It's amazing how many Headlibe stories

don't really have staying power where as

some "not so shocking stories" end up having

a big impact on our lives. June 29th., 1956

might be an excellent example. The news

headlines that day were all about the marriage

of actress Marylin Monroe to playwright Authur

Miller. Of course we now know their marriage

lasted only 5 years. But on that same day in

1956 in a story that didn't dominate the

headlines. President Eisenhower signed a 33

million dollar highway appropriations bill

that eventually created, among other things,

the Anthracie Expressway and the Keystone

Shortway. You know them better as Interstates

81 and 80. Part of the beginning of the Interstate

Highway system to link major cities across our

country! Now that had staying power!!! Hope

you're well and that all your NEWS is good!
