SINGER WAS LAID TO REST ON THIS DAY
Long before his stature in the world of show business earned
him the nickname “Chairman of the Board,” Frank Sinatra was
known simply as “The Voice.”
Francis Sinatra died of a heart attack on May 14, 1998, at the
age of 82 with his immediate family by his side at Cedars-
Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles.
Six days later, some 400 mourners attended his private funeral
at the Roman Catholic Church of the Good Shepherd in Beverly
Hills, with thousands more lining the streets outside.

D-DAY PLOTED ON THIS DAY IN 1943
On May 19, 1943, British Prime Minister Winston Churchill
and U.S. President Franklin Roosevelt met to plot the cross-
Channel landing that would become D-Day—May 1, 1944.
That date proved to be a bit premature, as bad weather became
a factor.
