Henry (Hank) King Ketcham  (March 14, 1920 – June 1, 2001)

Hank Ketcham created the Dennis the Menace comic strip, which he both
wrote and drew from 1951 to 1994, when he retired from working with the
daily cartoon and took up painting full time in his studio. Ketcham, who
was born in Seattle, Washington, received the Reuben Award for the
strip, which continues in the hands of capable artists today.

 

President Franklin Roosevelt began making the informal addresses to the nation called ‘Fireside Chat’ on Sunday March 12, 1933, during the Great Depression.

The National Weather Service (now the U.S. Weather Bureau) was established
on February 9, 1870 through a joint resolution of Congress signed by President
Ulysses S. Grant with a mission of providing meteorological observations at
military stations in the interior of the continent and other points in the States
and Territories”. The new agency was placed under the Secretary of War and
was then assigned to the U.S. Signal Corps under General Albert J. Myer.
