Winston Churchill

[Smartboy]

Those of you who have read a good number of my previous posts are probably able to understand that I have some learning disabilities. It is because of this that the famous people that I identify with tend to be famous people who also had learning disabilities. One such person is Winston Churchill. I have, in fact, read a book about him from cover to cover. One fact, however, that I had probably read or heard at one point or another but that had never sunk in is that he died in 1965. I was recently over on another site and someone had posted a quote by him and stated the time line that he lived. I then looked him up on the internet and found out that him having died in 1965 is absolutely right. Part of my disability is feeling a need to confirm many times over that Julie, played by Lauri Hendler is my favorite character on this show. However, one connection that I had never made before is that the world gained the lovely little Lauri Hendler the same year that it lost Winston Churchill! Wow!

It is always nice to be able to think of a topic to write about that someone else thinks is worthy or a reply!

Interesting.

I was looking at your profile Smartboy and I noticed your birthdate and we're very close in age. You were born on March 6th and I was born on February 16, 1969. So I'm only 18 days older than you.
