I'm with you on 18, and I think #25 is the Feast of the Epiphany

14..Ron was early involved, but not at the precise founding of Apple. So we want Mike here, like Rocket says.

15..Good catch by SVC, who attempted to clear up his vision but discovered it was a brain problem.
He accompanied Thomas Eagleton for electro shock therapy, and here he is.

16..It is reported that Abigail threatened no more female services, if John hotfooted to France, so, like Big wrote, it went to Jefferson.

17..See K9 & SVC.

18..VAUC & SVC. And despite rumors, Billy Joel is yet to write songs about Easton and Bethlehem.

19..VAUC & Big are trying to invoke the Meatloaf prescription that, "Two Out of Three Ain't Bad".
It wasn't Mrs. Newman, so we will need to page someone to get it right.

20..Big's got Margaret Mead, well, not exactly, cause she's dead. But at one time they had a thing going. The book is COMING OF AGE IN SAMOA.

21..K9's got the other fella with the dots and dashes.

22..Come on and guess--they are both still alive in wbb too.

23..Oh yeah? says the singer. Well, rbny and Bigboote are phony names too. So, there!

24..Yes, but poor SVC is still waiting for his invitation.

25..Some refer to it as THREE KINGS DAY, but most (and our calendars) know Jan. 6 as the Feast of the Epiphany.

Something more on 19 & 22, if you please.

Apple was founded on April 1, 1976 by Steve Jobs, Steve Wozniak, and Ron Wayne. Mike Markkula joined Apple in 1977 as an angel investor and an employee but was not the CEO until 1981. I'd like to see the citation and its source that cites Markkula as a founder of Apple. Founding a company on a given date is not necessarily the same as its incorporation date. Apple was incorporated January 3, 1977. Markula provided his business expertise and $250,000 for the incorporation.

I cannot give you an exact source. My info came from the Orlando Sentinel of several days ago, without headline, so it would not be easily found. I must conclude the blurb was referring to incorporation,
