Today's special birthdays belong to my EKU comrade Jonathan Sikora, my father Arthur J. Kleppinger (1916-2004), and my friend (and fellow handbell ringer) Allan Durand Stephens (1940-2010). My very happy Peanuts® tie originally belonged to Allan.

About Me
- Gene Kleppinger
- See my page on Facebook. I track daily historical events and celebrations primarily through Wikipedia and sites like On This Day, Holiday Insights, Brownielocks, Checkiday and BrainyHistory.
Here's a Web site that tracks social media postings about "National Days."
The Eastern Progress featured my tie collection in September 2010.
In 2015 I began learning how to tie all sorts of knots.
Here's a Web page that reviews the argument that neckties are obsolete.
