Betty was thinking of September 29th as her sisters birthday..
" My sister would be 77 today.. Oh no.. she was born on August 29th ". She had 10 kids and of course Brant's dog "Fred" who seemed almost human.
or some of his friends (added for Marie 2 days later)

So for Betty I (John) did an internet search to see what happen on this special day to see what Marg saw or heard on her birthday.
Well as a teenager Marg heard the song Oh Pretty Woman by Roy Orbison who released it on August 29th 1964.
And of course the zipper was invented on this day for boots which no longer needed to be tied..
Ofcourse, on that day was born Michael Jackson in 1958 and Swedish actor Ingrid Bergman in 1915 and of course Marguerite Florence Kernick (Porter); most loved and missed by her sister Betty..
But what we remember the most is probably, the August 29, 2005 when at approximately 6:10 a.m., Central Daylight Time, Hurricane Katrina, a Category 4 storm packing winds of 145 m.p.h., made landfall out of the Gulf of Mexico near Buras, Louisiana and headed north towards the historic city of New Orleans.
This blog is for here family on facebook.. Gary, David, Billy, Greg. Curtis, Brant, Mareena, and Noel and certainly two others whom are with their mother.. making up the 10 kids. Happy Birthday Marg.
The following year on Aug. 29, 2006 : Warren Steed Jeffs is arrested in Nevada by a local patrol officer, Warren Jeffs was on the FBI's Ten Most Wanted List and as leader of Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints; was found guilty later for alleged arrangement of extralegal marriages between his adult male followers and underage girls.
And the previous year on that date (2004) Greece Olympics End for Four More Years Aug. 29, 2004 : The 2004 Summer Olympics end with a spectacular closing ceremony watched by millions around the world as the Olympic Torch is extinguished and in 1966: The Beatles performed their last concert to a crowd of 25,000 at Candlestick Park in San Francisco
