On the day of my birth, Disneyland was celebrating an important milestone.

The New York Giants defeated the Milwaukee Braves (8-6) at County Stadium.

A U.S. pilot and three crew members were shot down over USSR territory (learned in 1992 when classified documents were released by USSR).

The president wrote a letter to Val Peterson concerning "Operation Alert".

By a vote of 90-0, the Senate approved a bill to allow widows under the age of 62 with a disabled child to receive Social Security Benefits.

Mr. S.H. Smith wrote to the co-inventor of the computer "ACE Pilot One" asking if he agreed to give the computer a "final resting place" in a Science Museum.

That same year, Alabama outlaws the NAACP. Singer Nat King Cole attacked on stage of theater by members of the white supremicist group "White Citizen Council" while on a concert stopover in Birmingham, Alabama.

Only 30+ years ealier, women could not vote.

It would be another eight years after my birth before a black was granted (by law) to vote in the south.

On my birthdate, the pride of Italy's passenger liner fleet, the Andrea Doria, set sail for Genoa bound for America. More than 3,500 miles away, the Swedish liner Stockholm leaves New your to return home. Seven days later, the two liners collide in the North Atlantic - a mystery unsolved to this day.

On my birthdate, the radio show, "X minus One", played the episode "The Old Die Rich".

Frank Sinatra, Nelson Rockefeller, Elvis Presley and the Shah of Iran all drove that year's Lincoln Continental.

The phonetic alphabet was one year old. Disneyland turned 1 year old. Martin Luther King's home was bombed. President Eisenhower wrote that letter regarding "Operation Alert 1956" to the Administrator of Civil Defense concerned about what to do in the event the USSR dropped an atomic bomb on the U.S.

Fourteen years later, Ford would come out with a new make called a "Maverick" and would go on to sell a gazillion of 'em. Over the years, the Maverick would not be among the most desired cars to own. Thirty years later, the Mavericks (and Comets) are becoming collector cars and well represent a part of Americana.

I was born some 12 or so years before Maverick was introduced on TV.
