That's the *federal* holiday. I hate to correct a corrector, but it most certainly did exist - in the State of Ohio. This is the sixth email message I've received pointing out this supposed error on my part. I experienced it as a school holiday in the late 1970s, and as a city and state employee in the very early 1980s. I recall much racially-oriented bellyaching at the time about the state adopting this new holiday.

I hate to question your memory, but Martin Luther King Day didn't exist in 1977 or 1978. President Ronald Reagan signed the holiday into law in 1983, and it was first observed in 1986. Now is seems like it's turned into Martin Luther King WEEK... 73, Ron w4ron ______________________________________________________________ Our Main Website: http://www.amfone.net AMRadio mailing list Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ List Rules (must read!): http://w5ami.net/amradiofaq.html List Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/amradio Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.html Post: mailto:[email protected] To unsubscribe, send an email to [email protected] with the word unsubscribe in the message body. ______________________________________________________________ Our Main Website: http://www.amfone.net AMRadio mailing list Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ List Rules (must read!): http://w5ami.net/amradiofaq.html List Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/amradio Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.html Post: mailto:[email protected] To unsubscribe, send an email to [email protected] with the word unsubscribe in the message body.
