My Dad's 21st Birthday; and one week before my parents' wedding...put a bit of a damper on the festivities.

As did Huxley. Peter Kreeft wrote a book about Huxley, Lewis and Kennedy meeting right after death and discussing the meanings of life, death and the afterlife from their different perspectives. Lewis (Christian), Kennedy (humanist) and Huxley (pantheism)

Whoa! I learned only a ( relatively ) few years ago that Aldous Huxley died on that day. It’s getting to be a crowd!
