Subject: [Fredslist] Independence Day

Below is my July 4th 2008 blog (sorry for the messy first try):

  Thomas Jefferson and John Adams, members of the committee which drafted our  
  magnificent Declaration of Independence, both died 50 years from the date of 
  the July 4th 1776 declaration on July 4th, 1826.                             

  Jefferson's last words were "Is it the fourth?". He died at 1220 PM. Adams   
  survived until 6:00 PM that same day and his last words were "Thomas         
  Jefferson survives." Without email or cell phone how could he know he was in 
  error.                                                                       

  What does survive is the freedom they sought and secured. No matter what our 
  present situation is at home and in the world, it is a great country! Have a 
  wonderful Fourth of July, and Happy Birthday America!                        

  The above is my annual July 4th message and last year Gothamite Charlie      
  Schreiber added that in 1831 James Monroe, our Nation's 5th President, also  
  died on the 4th of July. In 1850 our 12th President, Zachary Taylor          
  participated in July 4th activities at the Washington monument. It was a     
  blistery day and the president became quite ill. He died five days later on  
  July 9th.                                                                    

  I suppose I should also add that July 4th is also deceased New York Yankee   
  owner George "The Boss" Steinbrenner's birthday. Does anyone have any other  
  Independence Day Trivia?                                                     

  Happy Fireworks Day!
