The events of our lifetimes are history as it happens. Each of us is a historian with a treasure of information and recollection. The Muser's been soaking up dates and data about Denver, Colorado for nearly half a century. Here are a few obscurities:
The first U. S. airline bombing
When the White House was here — the President recovers from a heart attack.
Flood waters cut Denver in half
Housewives boycott — Grocers cut prices
It took a woman to take back Denver's Congressional seat for Democrats
Record voter turnout picks Hispanic Mayor
Denver isn't in the mountains
* It's almost a desert
* There are no covered wagons
* And the winters are wonderful.
