While Douglas is recovering from surgery, he's asked me to re-post some articles to do with the history of the period May 8th through May 10th. No doubt we'll also remember May 1st, the day bin Laden was killed - The GateKeeper

As the years go by, or rather swish by for long lived people, it seems as if almost every day of the year becomes an anniversary of something or other. Saturday May 10th is no exception for people of my nationality and generation.
Many things have happened on May 10th over the centuries. Coming close to our time for example a feminist who had spirit guidance, Victoria Woodhull, ran for President of the United States on that day in 1872. Coming closer, Fred Astaire was born on May 10th 1899, and what actually may be significant because of the German talent for detail, Winston Churchill became Prime Minister of Britain on May 10th 1940. On the anniversary of that day in 1941, Londoners received an experience that none of the survivors have ever forgotten.
