In Loving Memory of Marlaine M. Skulsh January 11, 1950 – February 16, 2010 He will raise you up on eagle's wings, bear you on the breath of dawn, make you to shine like the sun, and hold you in the palm of His hand. ~ Psalms 91 ~
Forgotten Never Friends may think we have forgotten When at times they see us smile. Little do they know the heartaches That our smiles hide all the while. Beautiful memories are wonderful things.
That last till the longest day. They never wear out. They never get lost and Can never be given away. To some you may be forgotten. To others a part of the past. But to those who loved And lost you... Your memory will always last. Love you always & forever in our hearts!
the Weget Family And many many friends whose hearts you’ve touched a long the way!
February 18/11 Pg 5

18-Feb-1885 Mark Twain's Adventures of Huckleberry Finn is published for the first time. Considered as one of the Great American Novels, the work is noted for its colorful description of people and places along the Mississippi River. It was criticized upon release because of its coarse language and became even more controversial in the 20th century because of its perceived use of racial stereotypes and racial slurs. 19-Feb-2003 On-stage pyrotechnics start a fire that kills nearly a hundred spectators attending a performance by the metal band Great White in the U.S. state of Rhode Island. A spray of sparks ignited the foam soundproofing material behind the stage. In 2008 the band agreed to pay $1 million to survivors and victims' relatives of the fire while admitting to no wrongdoing. Rock On!! 20-Feb-1952 "The African Queen", opened in NYC. “The African Queen” is a marvellous film of romance, adventure, love and human character. It follows the adventures of a crusty bachelor, Charlie Allnut (Humphrey Bogart) and his nemesis, Rose Sayer (Katharine Hepburn), in World War I Africa. The pair struggle against the climate, the river, the bugs, the Germans and, most of all, against each other. And in the end, love and strength of character overcome all. 21-Feb-1965 Malcolm X is assassinated at the Audubon Ballroom in New York City by members of the Nation of Islam. To his admirers, he was a courageous advocate for the rights of African Americans, a man who indicted white America in the harshest terms for its crimes against black Americans. His detractors accused him of preaching racism, black supremacy, anti-Semitism & violence. 22-Feb-1997 In Roslin, Scotland, scientists announce that an adult sheep named Dolly had been successfully cloned. Dolly was actually born on July 5th, 1996 at the Roslin Institute. The cell used as the donor for the cloning of Dolly was taken from a mammary gland, and the production of a healthy clone therefore proved that a cell taken from a specific part of the body could recreate a whole individual. On Dolly's name, embryologist Dr Ian Wilmut stated "Dolly is derived from a mammary gland cell and we couldn't think of a more impressive pair of glands than Dolly Parton's". 23-Feb-2010 Unknown criminals pour more than 2.5 million liters of diesel oil and other hydrocarbons into the river Lambro, in Northern Italy, causing an environmental disaster. This oily mass followed the entire length of the river, despite both local authorities and civil defense’s efforts in order to stop the flow. This disaster caused considerable damage to wildlife and vegetation, both in Lambro and in Po, and unfortunately its effects will be evident for many years afterwards, making it one of the worst environmental crisis in recent history in Italy. 24-Feb-1989 United Airlines Flight 811, bound for New Zealand from Honolulu, Hawaii, rips open during flight, sucking 9 passengers out of the businessclass section. The aircraft involved was a Boeing 747-122. The pilots began an emergency descent to get the aircraft rapidly down to breathable air, while performing a 180-degree left turn to take them back to Honolulu. Captain Cronin was able to get the plane to a halt without going off the end of the runway. Evacuation was carried out and all passengers and flight attendants were off in less than 45 seconds.
