    On my birthday(Febuary 21st)in the year of 1971 a series of tornadoes hit the Mississippi River Delta that killed more than 100 people. The tornadoes went from the bayous of Louisiana, through Mississippi and all the way to Tennessee. One of the worst of the tornadoes was the F4 category twister. It had winds between 207 & 260 mph. I would have never thought that a series of tornadoes like this would all hit on the same day.

    On my birthday, the very first Barbie Doll was displayed in New York, 1954. The Barbie was eleven
    inches tall, and she had beutiful blonde hair. The person who made the Barbie Doll, is Ruth Handler.
    After she saw her daughter ignore babydolls, and then seeing her daughter wanting to play with adult
    paper dolls, she decided to make a doll with adult figures.....thus, Barbie was born! Mrs.Handler
    realized that there is an important purpose in the market for a toy, that the little girls have in
    there mind that give the girls a hint of there futures as women.

    On my birth date(12/6)a guard, who had been shot by brothers Frank, William, and Simeon Reno during a
    train robbery in May, dies of his wounds. His death so infuriated the public that a group of
    vigilantes yanked the three brothers from their Indiana jail cell five days later and hanged them.
    Although the Reno gang-which included another brother, John, as well-had a short reign of terror,
    they are credited with pulling off the first train robbery in American history and are believed
    to be the inspiration for criminal copycats like the legendary Jesse James.
