1997:
President Clinton started his second term and Newt Gingrich was reelected as House Speaker. O. J. Simpson was found liable in civil suit. Hong Kong returns to Chinese rule. U.S. spacecraft transmits thousands of pictures from Mars and Princess Diana, 36, was killed with two others in Paris car crash. Mother Teresa dies at 87. Also leaving us is John Denver, James Michener and Jimmy Stewart. Tiger Woods breaks multiple records in Masters golf tournament. Green Bay beats New England in the Superbowl and Cleveland loses (darn it!) to the Florida Marlins in the World Series.

At the movie theaters is As Good as It Gets, The Full Monty, Good Will Hunting, L.A. Confidential, and Titanic is the most expensive film to date.

A first-class stamp costs 32¢.

And Nicholas Paul Bonza arrives in the world.

He was born a month early, November 21, 1997 at 11:30 p.m. - 5 pounds, 14 ounces. Below and following are pictures of Nicholas - the early pics are pretty crude, but I was pretty new to Photoshop & html programs. Here, he's about 3 and 1/2 months old and a little over 14 pounds. Use the links above to watch him grow up.
