is the birthday of Lilia Ann Abron (1945– ), the first Black woman awarded a PhD in chemical engineering. She’s still very much in it – her consulting firm is down by the wharf.
is the birthday of Monica Helms (1951– ), author, Navy veteran and creator of the trans pride flag.
“is Organize Your Home Office Day.” Oh yes. It’s a constant.
