Region – Today is Monday, Dec. 10, the 345th day of 2012.
On this day in 1967, the great soul singer Otis Redding was killed in a plane crash in Madison, Wisc.
On this day in 1974 U.S. Representative Wilbur Mills was forced to resign after a public display of drunkenness with a stripper who went by the names of “Fanne Foxe” and the “Argentine Firecracker”.
And on this day in 1901, the first Nobel Prizes were awarded in Stockholm, Sweden, in the fields of physics, chemistry, medicine, literature, and peace.
Happy birthday today to Agnes Nixon (1927); Bobby Flay (1964); and Meg White (1974).
