    1) the Geneva Accord was signed in 1954

    2) A small step for man, a giant leap for mankind was in 1969

    3) Guam and Puerto Rico were ceded to the U.S. before 1900, I think 1898

    4) The false hope for the Coptic Christian Community was in 1953.

    Hope you are doing okay in this sweltering weather

      #4 was one year off, but that's close enough for me! 100%

      It's hot here but I'm sure FL is hotter. How are you holding up?
