Prince Philip arrived at Hartsfield Airport on the same day as the event in Newnan, GA. With the Pan Am Flight 103 trial on appeal (that's at TIMELINE under 12-21-1988), I was startled that a British royal had been invited Georgia. I could hear a helicopter flying over the house as the TV news was covering his departure from the airport by helicopter for Newnan, GA.
It was six years after this visit that I discovered the Prince Charles royal anagram that is published at the bottom of the HOME tab on the Menu bar.
It was more than a decade ago that I went to the microfiche reels to see if the date version of HR1240 would reveal a cryptic message. What is the date version of that House Resolution bill number "1240"? It would be Jan. 2, 1940. In most other parts of the world it would be read as the European date version with has the DAY in front of the MONTH (DD/MM/YY). i.e., 1240 would be February 1, 1940. There was more than one article from my IPL research that I kept, but I liked the one you see above best. David Gray learns that you can be first by standing in line for 7 hours, and they won't give you licence plate '1.' BTW, there is also David Gray the British musician, whose fourth album was titled White Ladder.
In closing, I'll note that I sometimes see an auto tag worth taking a picture of. 6462, you recall, is my date-of-birth. How many car tags can you find on-line of your d-o-b?
