Angela or Gran, as she is more popularly known, tagged me to do a BIRTHDAY MEME. Belated Happy Birthday to you Angela!
What do I need to do?

1. Go to Wikipedia and type in your birthday (month and day).
2. Write down three events, 2 births, 1 holiday and tag 5 friends.
3. There are five slots in the Birthday Meme. As you are tagged, you have to remove the name in the first slot and bump everyone up so that your name can be added to the bottom.

Okay, since this is my birth month, I will look for something on this particular day: July 14

3 Events:

1223 – In France, Louis VIII becomes King of France upon the death of his father, Philip II of France.

1698 – The Darien scheme begins with five ships, bearing about 1,200 people, departing Leith for the Isthmus of Panama.
(my birth year) 1969 – Large denominations of United States currency, namely the $500, $1,000, $5,000 and $10,000 bills, are officially withdrawn from circulation by the Federal Reserve System due to “lack of use,” leaving the $100 bill as the largest unit of circulating United States currency.

2 Births:

1454 – Poliziano, Florentine humanist (d. 1494)

1610 – Ferdinando II de’ Medici, Grand Duke of Tuscany (d. 1670)

1 Holiday

France and all French dependencies – Bastille Day.
