I had a history professor back in the 1970s who said George Blanda was a student of his when he was at the University of Kentucky and that "I flunked him twice!"

Bennett Wall was a real character. His best story was about being friends with former Truman VP Alben Barkley. He was good friends with Barkley and his second wife. Barkley ran for and won a Senate seat after leaving the VP office, but died during that term. Barkley's widow asked him to help her with settling his estate and one of the first things needed was the previous year's tax return. Dr. Wall couldn't find it, looked for the year before's return and eventually figured out that Alben Barkley had never filed one income tax return in his life. I imagine that the IRS took a huge hunk of his estate for back taxes, interest and penalties.

I know that neither anecdote refers to a birthday, but I thought they would be fun to share.

I suspect that old George figured he got the last laugh on Professor Wall!
