Did You Know ...
... that 67 years ago today, Dec. 5, 1945, a squadron of five Navy torpedo bombers on a routine training mission were lost in the Atlantic Ocean somewhere east of Florida? The leader of the mission reported instrument failure before the loss of the planes in the infamous "Bermuda Triangle." A search-and-rescue Mariner aircraft sent to locate the squadron also mysteriously disappeared. In all, 27 men lost their lives, 14 in the squadron and 13 on the Mariner.
... that 79 years ago today, Dec. 5, 1933, Prohibition was officially ended with the ratification of the 21st Amendment to the U.S. Constitution? The amendment repealed the 18th Amendment ratified in 1919.
... that 111 years ago today, Dec. 5, 1901, Walt Disney was born in Chicago, Ill.? The great animator, film producer and television icon was also widely known for the theme park that bore his name: Disneyland.
'Til next time,

Ken Tate,
Good Old Days® magazine
Looking Back® magazine
Good Old Days® books
Ken Tate, along with his wife, Janice, edits Good Old Days magazine and the Annie's Attic Mysteries series for Annie's, a publisher located in Berne, Ind. Ken and Janice live in the Ozark Mountains of north Arkansas on property that has been in their family for nearly a century.
Ken began working with Good Old Days in 1989 after a long career editing newspapers and magazines. It was only natural, Ken says, that Janice joined him in editing the nostalgia magazines in 1997. She had worked with him for years on various publications before the birth of their three children.
In addition to their work on the magazine and books, Ken and Janice run a small ranching operation on the 400-acre, old home place and enjoy time with their extended family. Ken is looking forward to the golden anniversary of Good Old Days in 2013. Retirement, he contends, is highly overrated -- at least for him.
