FRIDAY HARBOR, Wash. (AP) — Retired Maj. Gen. William
Anders, the former Apollo 8 astronaut who took the iconic
“Earthrise” photo showing the planet as a shadowed blue
marble from space in 1968, was killed Friday when the plane
he was piloting alone plummeted into the waters off the San
Juan Islands in Washington state. He was 90.

On June 7, 1972, the production of ‘ Grease’ moved to the
Broadhurst Theatre on Broadway, and on November 21, it
moved to the Royale Theatre there, where it ran until
January 27, 1980. For the five final weeks of the run, the
show moved to the larger Majestic Theatre. By the time
It closed on April 13, 1980, it had run 3,388 performances.

The original Broadway cast included Barry Bostwick as
Danny, Carole Demas as Sandy.

National Donut Day started in 1938 as a fundraiser for The
Salvation Army in Chicago.

Their goal was to help those in need during the Great
Depression, and to honor the Salvation Army "Lassies"
of World War I, who served doughnuts to soldiers.

Thirteen years after American settlers founded the city named
for him, Chief Seattle died in a nearby village of his people.

Born sometime around 1790, Seattle (Seathl) was a chief of the Duwamish and Suquamish tribes who lived around the Pacific
Coast bay that is today called Puget Sound.

The copper statue shows Seattle with his right hand extended
as if in greeting. The statue stands atop a stone base that was
designed to serve as a fountain, although the fountain has been
turned off and on over the years.

The statue was sculpted by James Wehn and was unveiled
November 13, 1912.
