As we begin the 2nd week of the new year and the new decade, it’s always interesting (I think) to look back in history and see what was happening x amount of years ago on a specific date. It’s often hard to recall where we were or what we were doing at a specific time, but did you know that almost 80 fascinating events and facts occurred in our history this week – the 2nd week in January?
