October 28

On the 28th in 1886, 1936 and 1986 celebrations were held in New York Harbor marking, respectively, the dedication, 50th anniversary and 100th anniversary of the statue Liberty Enlightening the World, popularly known as the Statue of Liberty. President Grover Cleveland mc’d in 1886. President Franklin Roosevelt did the honors in 1936. By 1986, the statue must have been downgraded to the B list because President Reagan was a no-show. Although in Reagan’s defense, there was a sign posted on the podium stating “No shoes, no shirt, no service,” and it was a Tuesday and The Gap probably wasn’t open yet.
