Milford Morning Briefing: Monday, Aug. 20, 2012
Local events, announcements, and reminders to start your day.
On this day in 1911, a dispatcher in the New York Times office sends the first telegram around the world via commercial service. Exactly 66 years later, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) sends a different kind of message--a phonograph record containing information about Earth for extraterrestrial beings--shooting into space aboard the unmanned spacecraft Voyager II.
Famous birthdays include Connie Chung - 1946; Robert Plant - 1948; Amy Adams - 1974.
