CAMILLE BOHANNON
Manfred Albrecht Freiherr von Richthofen 2 May 1892 – 21 April 1918), known in English as Baron von Richthofen or the Red Baron, was a fighter pilot with the German Air Force during World War I.

with 80 air combat victories.
On April 21, 1895, Woodville Latham and his sons, Otway
and Gray, demonstrated their “Panopticon,” the first movie
projector developed in the United States.
Although motion pictures had been shown in the United States
for several years using Thomas Edison’s Kinetoscope, the films
could only be viewed one at a time in a peep-show box, not
projected to a large audience.
Brothers Grey and Otway Latham, the founders of a company
that produced and exhibited films of prize fights using the
Kinetoscope, called on their father, Woodville, and W.K.L.
Dickson, an assistant in the Edison Laboratory, to help them
develop a device that would project life-sized images onto a
screen in order to attract larger audiences.
On April 20, 2008, 26-year-old Danica Patrick wins the Indy
Japan 300 at Twin Ring Motegi in Motegi, Japan, making
her the first female winner in IndyCar racing history.
Danica Patrick was born on March 25, 1982, in Beloit,
Wisconsin. She became involved in racing as a young
girl and as a teenager moved to England in pursuit of
better training opportunities.
In 2002, after returning to the United States, she began
driving for the Rahal Letterman Racing team, owned by
1986 Indianapolis 500 champ Bobby Rahal and late-night
talk-show host David Letterman.
In 2005, Patrick started competing in IndyCar events, which
include the famed Indianapolis 500 race at the Indianapolis
Motor Speedway in Indiana.
On April 20, 1999, two teenage gunmen killed 13 people in a
shooting spree at Columbine High School in Littleton,
Colorado, south of Denver.
At approximately 11:19 a.m., Dylan Klebold, 17, and Eric Harris,
18, dressed in trench coats, began shooting students outside
the school before moving inside to continue their rampage.
By 11:35 a.m., Klebold and Harris had killed 12 fellow students
and a teacher and wounded another 23 people. Shortly after
noon, the two teens turned their guns on themselves and died
by suicide.
The crime prompted a national debate on gun control and
school safety, as well as a major investigation to determine
what motivated the teen gunmen.
In the days immediately following the shootings, it was
speculated that Klebold and Harris purposely chose jocks,
minorities and Christians as their victims.
