On 28 Sep in:
1909 - Al Capp was born. He of course put Dogpatch on the map with Li'l
Abner, Mammy and Pappy Yokum, their son Abner, the lovely Daisy Mae, Fearless
Fosdick and the lovable Schmoos. Al Capp even invented a holiday, Sadie
Hawkins Day.
1542 - Juan Cabrillo discovered California, at San Diego Bay
1781 - The Seige of Yorktown begins - the last battle of the Revolutionary
War
And at the top of the charts in:
1960 - Chain Gang - Sam Cooke - "That's the sound of the men workin' on the
chain gaaaang" of course these days in Arizona it's the women singing that
song. So, do we finally have equality??? (Sorry, couldn't help myself)
