An email from Cecil Woolf this morning reminded me that today would be his uncle Leonard’s 135th birthday.
I posted the reminder on Facebook and sent out a tweet about it.
Others (@manuelardingo @diconodioggi @SomeOfHerParts, @itsmeIHS, Woolf_2016@Leeds) picked it up and added to the conversation, resulting in a string of tweets about the day — and how one marks it.
This one included a photo of Virginia’s Nov. 25, 1928 diary entry:
