    Please. Please contact me a ben62670 @ yahoo.com. Make sure to include who you are, and you are from Polk so I don't delete your email. Also I am now physically unable to work on any projects. If you need help let these guys know. There are many people who will help if you let them know where you are.

    Ok you boxing fans:

    The first colorcast of a sport event, a boxing match from Madison Square Garden, was presented by NBC. (Maybe the first by NBC, but not the first color sports, as baseball and football were colorcast by the CBS system).

    USA was celebrating for getting John Glenn into a single orbit around earth;

    Communism showed it inherent weakness when a wall was built in Berlin to prevent more people from escaping the GDR;

    Folk were reflecting upon the 20th anniversary of the attack on Pearl Harbor.
