Packy, born April 14, 1962

Packy is an Asian elephant at the Oregon Zoo in Portland, famous for being the 
first elephant born in the Western Hemisphere in almost 45 years. Currently, he is  
the tallest and oldest, male Asian elephant in the United States, and perhaps one  
of the tallest worldwide. Packy’s mother, Belle, came  from Thailand and died on   
April 22, 1997 and his father, Thonglaw, was born in Cambodia and died on  
November 25, 1974. He sired 14 calves besides Packy.

"33⅓ Revolutions Per Monkee" is the name of a rarely-seen TV special starring
The Monkees that aired on NBC. Produced by Jack Good, creator of the television 
series Shindig!, musical guests on the show included Jerry Lee Lewis, Fats Domino, 
and Little Richard in musical performances. Although they were billed as musical
guests, Julie Driscoll and Brian Auger, alongside their then-backing band The Trinity, found themselves playing a prominent role; in fact, it can be argued that the special focused more on the guest stars (specifically, Auger and Driscoll) than The Monkees themselves. This special is notable as The Monkees’ final performance as a quartet  
until 1986, as Peter Tork left the group at the end of the special’s production.

RMS Titanic was the largest passenger liner in the world and was owned by the White Star Line. The vessel struck an iceberg on her maiden voyage from Southampton, England, to New York City, and sank on 15 April 1912. She struck the iceberg four
days into the crossing, at 11:40 pm on 14 April 1912, and sank at 2:20 the following
morning, resulting in the deaths of 1,517 people in one of the deadliest peacetime maritime disasters in history. A total of 706 passengers survived.
