England's Queen Elizabeth celebrated her 88th birthday Monday, April 21, four months before I will reach 88 on August 21.
Certainly, neither birthday is of world-shaking importance, but it reminded me of something I had long forgotten. I shared a birthday with the late Princess Margaret, who died at age 71 in 2002. We were both born on August 21.
This was pointed out to me by a man who studied the Homer band calendar, which had thousands of birthdays noted, each costing ten cents. Some people not only gave their family names but added the names of pets and toys.
