Today's card was a tough call. There are three contenders:
In 1990 Lech Walesa was elected president of Poland. From electrician, to activist, to prisoner, to president is an amazing story. Solidarity was the first word I learned in Polish... Okay, it is the only word I know in Polish.![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiz-GRMyN434P5BC5Fauaxq4ugZ7akEUjM-uTB2ZWBliF0ctS1ytQRXlmGLIprqgVW7ZSROnKcM0EUZ0b765z5xQa3rpUsVHYuc4fP9togR8jpKkk6108MIqA8mTkl8gYhOk7lp-utoetWM/s400/lech.JPG)
December 9th, 1958 the John Birch Society was founded. I was a history major and I have to admit, I had never heard of the John Birch Society until Eric Show passed away. Show was one of my favorite Padres when I was growing up. I at UC Davis when he died. I did not hear about it until several months later. Reading his obituary, I was saddened when I learned of the rough times he went through. He was an interesting and troubled man. I also learned that he was a member of the John Birch Society. He was, indeed, an interesting and troubled man.
Today's choice was actually rather easy after the previous two days:
Merry Christmas, Charlie Brown!!! A Charlie Brown Christmas premiered on this date in 1965.

I was a big Show fan too. I always thought that he looked like one of my uncles.
Nice card choice for today.
Great card. Watched a Charlie Brown Christmas with my daughter last night.
