National Sunglasses Day is celebrated on 27 June. I don't have sunglasses to wear because my lenses transition to shade in bright light, so I'm wearing my Pillsbury® Doughboy® tie where "Poppin' Fresh" is in cognito. I am also sporting my eyeglasses tie clip! This date is also the birthday of Bob Keeshan (1927-2004), famous as the grandfatherly host of the wonderful Captain Kangaroo children's television programs, first telecast in 1955. He started in television as Clarabelle the Clown on the Howdy Doody Show. By a strange coincidence from searching with Google today I found a photo of an auction lot of sunglasses originally worn in episodes of Captain Kangaroo!
