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.
