UNIVERSITY HEIGHTS, Ohio (AP) — After nearly five decades of
blowin’ in the wind, a double Bob Dylan album finally has a
direction home: A man living in San Francisco has mailed the
vinyl back to an Ohio library 48 years after it was supposed to
be returned.

Howard Simon recently sent the album along with a letter to
Heights Libraries apologizing for his tardiness, according to a
news release from the library system outside Cleveland.

Simon checked out Dylan’s "Self Portrait" album in 1973 as an
eighth-grader at a University Heights middle school. Simon,
now 73, says he found it between two other Dylan albums in
his personal vinyl collection.

On May 30, 1911, Ray Harroun (above) dove his single-seater
Marmon Wasp to victory in the inaugural Indianapolis 500,
now one of the world’s most famous motor racing events.

The Indiana automobile dealer Carl Fisher first proposed
building a private auto testing facility in 1906, in order to
address car manufacturers’ inability to test potential top
speeds of new cars due to the poorly developed state of
the public roadways. The result, the Indianapolis Motor
Speedway, built on 328 acres of farmland five miles
northwest of downtown Indianapolis.

(AP) – B.J. Thomas, the Grammy-winning singer who enjoyed
success on the pop, country and gospel charts with such hits
as “I Just Can’t Help Believing,” “Raindrops Keep Fallin’ On
My Head” and “Hooked on a Feeling,” has died.

Thomas, who announced in March that he had been
diagnosed with lung cancer, died from complications
of the disease Saturday at his home in Arlington, Texas.

The Big Trail, Wayne’s first role as a leading man (1930).

Born Marion Michael Morrison, Wayne’s family moved to Glendale,
California, when he was six years old. As a teen, he rose at four in
the morning to deliver newspapers, and after school he played
football and made deliveries for local stores. When he graduated
from high school, he hoped to attend the U.S. Naval Academy, But
after the school rejected him, he accepted a full scholarship to play
football at the University of Southern California in Los Angeles.

In the summer of 1926, Wayne’s football coach found him a job as
an assistant prop man on the set of a movie directed by John Ford.

Ford started to use Wayne as an extra, and he eventually began to
trust him with some larger roles
