The LINTON & BIRD Chronicles This Day in History, Birthdays and Anniversaries is a work-in-progress and I am trying to do a breif skitch on each person and how they are related to Kirk Louis LINTON (1914-1987) or Jeff Augustus "Gus" BIRD (1893-1954) and his daughter Evelyn Virginia BIRD Linton (1922-2012). There is no easy way to do this except by hand. So if you see a month that needs work, e-mail me at Terry_L_Linton@linton-research-fund-inc.com or T_L_Linton@juno.com or You can leave it on our LINTON & BIRD Blog. or LINTON & BIRD Chronicles on Facebook
