Happy Birthday
March 25 seems to be the natal day for a remarkable number of talented and eclectic people, living and deceased, some of whom happen to be my favorites. So put on your pointy party hats and blow your noisemakers for:
Elton John, Aretha Franklin, Sarah Jessica Parker, Marcia Cross, Simone Signoret, Hoyt Axton, director David Lean, Olympic skater Debi Thomas, sportscaster Howard Cosell, astronaut Jim Lovell, composer Bela Bartok, conductor Arturo Toscanini and last but not least, arguably the finest writer that the South has produced, Flannery O’Connor.
