About

May 29 Massimo Ambrosini, Italian soccer midfielder (Italy 35 caps, AC Milan), born in Pesaro, Italy Nolan, Cathal J. (1997-01-01). Notable U.S. Ambassadors Since 1775: A Biographical Dictionary. Greenwood Publishing Group. ISBN 9780313291951. Her first husband, Hugh H. Smythe, died in 1977; her second husband, Robert Haith Jr., died in 1988. Mabel collapsed on the shore and slept for days. She awoke as she was being captured by renegades, who had stopped to cool their guns in the water. Mabel was bound and chained to an unusual two-wheeled wagon, and the group began trekking west. Mabel’s love for life attracted the attention of “Cookie,” and the two of them became great friends. On dark nights, close to a small campfire, they traded recipes and baked delicious food; the aroma wafted through the air and made mouths water to all who smelled it.
