This Day in History...


On Oct. 28th, 1886, the Statue of Liberty, a gift from the people of France, was dedicated in New York Harbor by President Grover Cleveland. Merci, Grover.

On Oct. 28th, 1936, President Franklin D. Roosevelt rededicated the Statue of Liberty on its 50th anniversary. Merci beaucoup, Franklin.

On Oct. 28th, 1986 President Ronald Reagan thought about re-re-dedicating it for its 100th anniversary but decided it was getting a bit cliche. Tres mal Ronald. Je suis tres dissapointed.

  1. The Dispatch can always count on South Egg for all the news that's fit to print.
