In 19...Thanks for the information on Fred Ludekens.<br />In 1964 - at the age of eight - I received my first wall calendar; a Weyerhaeuser calendar advertising the (now defunct) Brookfield Lumber Company in Connecticut. Each moth sported a beautiful wildlife illustration by Ludekens, and being a nature lover I absolutely adored that calendar! !964 was a Leap Year, and as December drew to a close I began wondering how often leap years repeated... when I could accurately use this calendar again. Working patiently with pencil and paper I eventually deduced that leap years repeat ever 28 years, and that the dates on my '64 calendar would be good again in 1992. True to my plans, I displayed that calendar in '92. Another 28 years have now passed, and this morning I hung it upon my kitchen wall as my vintage calendar for 2020. 56 years later Fred Ludekens' images still thrill the eight-year-old boy inside me!Michael Tuznoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7589105760911453392.post-81989007278244130522019-05-31T09:55:38.679-07:002019-05-31T09:55:38.679-07:00emjayay -- Thanks, fixed.
