10 September 13

Various events for Sept. 10: In 1946, Mother Teresa of Calcutta received her vision for her life's mission of caring for the poor. 100 years earlier, Elias Howe received his patent for a sewing machine. In 1918, the dog who became Rin-Tin-Tin in movies was born. People born on this date include Henry Purcell (1659), Arnold Palmer (1929), Charles Kuralt (1934), Christopher Hogwood (1941), José Feliciano (1945), and Bill O'Reilly (1949). My multicolored tie reflects the wide variety of possible celebrations!
