What Else Happened in 1963?

Metal tennis racquets were invented; frames constructed of steel rather than wood were patented by René LaCoste, the former French champ; you know, the guy who gave us the LaCoste (alligator) sport shirts.

I n a proud statement issued from their company headquarters, Wishbone Inc. announced that 2003 is the 40th Anniversary of the founding of their business. The Company was started back in 1963, the same year the She Loves You, by The Beatles, hit number three on the charts. We were listening to some fairly controversial music including Puff the Magic Dragon, Wives And Lovers, Blue Velvet, and Heat Wave.

Andy Warhol's soon-to-be-famous soup cans highlighted a "Pop Art" exhibit at the Guggenheim and the Mona Lisa smiled at the Metropolitan Museum of art.

Our president, JFK, was assassinated by Lee Harvey Oswald and then Oswald was killed by Jack Ruby. Many prominent places were re-named in the "favorite President's honor.

Yes, when you think about it, things have changed a lot in 40 years. But, after all this time there are some things which have remained the same.

Sports & Entertainment

Little did the victorious Celtics know when they won their fifth NBA Championship, that a birth this year would change the game of basketball forever. Michael Jordan (a little shorter) was born in 1963.

One good thing is that Wishbone Restaurant, Inc. is still around and thriving after over 40 years of hard work and lots of dedication by everyone involved...and most importantly, caring about customers who helped us reach this milestone.

The L.A.Dodgers Beat the New York Yankees 4-0 for the World Series. The Rose Bowl went to USC as they defeated Wisconsin 42-37 and the Toronto Maple Leafs took home the Stanley Cup.

Movies kept us entertained as we watched; Sidney Poitier (best actor) in Lilies of the Field and Patricia Neal (best actress) in Hud. Other favorites were Dr. Strangelove, The Birds, and Ursala Andress and Sean Connery in Dr. No.

Bob Dylan and Joan Baez reigned as king and queen of folk music.
