"You've got the same birthday as Princess Margaret," Ulric said as I stopped by the store. "And I was born in the same year as Princess Elizabeth," I countered."
Ulric had a Homer High School Band calendar before him and was looking up birthdays. The calendar was being distributed by band club members. It was the main fund raiser for the band at that time. I wonder if the band continues to publish a calendar. Does Homer High even have a band? That is not a stupid question; schools have been forced to drop classes to compensate for falling revenues.
At that time, decades ago, by paying a penny a name, you could list the birth days of all family members (including pets), enemies and anybody else. Calendars had a picture of the entire band in uniform and sold for 50 cents each. If the band doesn't raise funds this way it might consider it, of course, with prices much higher.
