Bobby Rydell in 1960

Bobby still performs as a solo act, and tours as part of ‘The Golden Boys’ stage production since 1985 (with Frankie Avalon and Fabian). He cancelled his 2012
Australia tour because his health had deteriorated significantly, and he was in
need of urgent major surgery.

While an independent, Oregon Senator Wayne L. Morse set a record at the time
for delivering the longest one-person filibuster in the history of the U.S. Senate,
22 hours and 26 minutes. He was protesting a bill for the Tidelands offshore oil legislation.

Morris Frank of Nashville, Tennessee was 16 years old when he
lost his sight in a fight at school. Frustrated with his inability to get
around independently, he set out for Switzerland, spending several
weeks there, learning to work with a female German shepherd who
was originally named Kiss. Frank changed her name to Buddy, later 
feeling that it was a much more appropriate name for her. All of his
subsequent dogs were also called Buddy.
