It was an interesting year ... Winston Churchill became Prime Minister of Great Britain ... nylon stockings went on sale in New York City ... the first successful helicopter flight was held in the United States ... Italy joined the war as a member of the Axis power and declared war on France and Great Britain ... German troops entered Paris and marched down the Champs-Elysées ... the Battle of Britain began as the German Luftwaffe bombed London ... the first peacetime draft in the United States was held ... Disney's Fantasia became number one as it premiered at the Broadway Theater in New York ... Tiffany & Co. moved to a larger store, the first completely air-conditioned store of any kind ... Near Pasadena, Calif. McDonald hamburger stands had its beginning in a drive-in opened by movie theater co-owners Richard and Maurice McDonald of Glendora ... Forrest E. Mars developed m&m's candies with the idea that candies could be eaten in the summer if they did not melt from the heat ... For Whom the Bell Tolls by Ernest Hemingway was published ... the Cincinnati Reds won the World Series ... the radio show Abbott and Costello began as a summer replacement for Fred Allen ... The Adventures of Superman was introduced on Mutual Radio ... A quiz show, Double or Nothing, started on Mutual Radio and ran for 12 years with a top prize of $80 ... Singing cowboy Gene Autry's Melody Ranch was introduced on CBS radio and ran for 16 years ... the number 1 song was In The Mood by Glenn Miller, then Frenesi by Arthur Shaw, Only Forever by Bing Crosby, I'll Never Smile Again by Tommy Dorsey and When You Wish Upon a Star by Cliff Edwards ... and many future musicians were born such as Smokey Robinson, Rick Nelson, Tom Jones, Ringo Starr, and Dionne Warwick ... Franklin Roosevelt beat Wendell Wilkie for an unprecedented third term ... and in Sunbury, PA, on this day in that year, a beautiful baby girl was born to Glenn and Mary Bickle. They named her Dianne Lee (if she had been a boy her name would have been Barry Lee). She grew up to be a wonderful beautiful lady, devoted mother, and loving wife. And her positive Christian influence and testimony has impacted many besides her family. So today we say "Happy Birthday Dianne!"... now if you correctly guessed the year then you know how young she is. I'm not going to reveal that to you. But she looks ten years younger than she actually is. If you really want to know her age, just ask her. She isn't like many women in that she is willing to share her age. So please join with me today in wishing her a very happy birthday.
