All of the discussion about Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. sent me into full-on research mode. I went to the internet to review the life and times of the good doctor. The look into the past was fueled by a question last week about when Bobby Kennedy died. I am of the age that I remember both the assassinations of 1963 and 1968. I noticed an odd numerical coincidence. Martin Luther King, Jr. was assassinated on 4 April 1968 (4/4) by James Earl Ray. Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. was shot on 5 June by Sirhan B. Sirhan but died 6 June 1968 (6/6). As a person who is always trying to remember details, I know that now I will always be able to remember when these two men died. The date echo will make it stick in my head.
