    GETTING THE MESSAGE!

     Today is "Marconi Day." It honors

the Italian electrical engineer, scientist,

and inventor Guglielmo Marconi who

invented the radio that allowed ships

at sea to transmit messages to one

another. It was a "Marconi device"

that sent the distress call from the

Titanic after it struck the iceberg.

Marconi's actual birthday is April

25th buyt it is celebrated each year

on the closest Saturday to that date.

These days we are able to send 

messages everywhere thanks to

Marconi's basic invention in 1895.

Originally messages were sent

in morse code, a series of dots

and dashes representing letters

and numbers. Wait! I just got a

message myself! It's from my

wife. It reads..Stop talking! Get

up and clean out the shed." Thanks

heaps Marconi!!! Hope you are

all well and that all your NEWS

is good!
