Thanks for passing this on.

Obviously I don't follow the same people you do, because your post is the first I've heard of it. I'm of the age that 67 is not a word, but a number. I like kiss-cam much better.

Shingles, or herpes zoster, is a viral infection that causes a painful rash.
It is caused by the same virus that causes chickenpox.

After a person recovers from chickenpox, the virus remains inactive in the body.
#Shingles occurs when the virus reactivates later in life http://bit.ly/3W9QexQ

On this day in 1993, Joe Carter hit a three-run home run in the bottom of the ninth to win the World Series for the Toronto Blue Jays at Skydome. They defeated the Philadelphia Phillies four games to two. It was the second-straight World Series title for the team.

A jubilant Joe Carter in a white and blue uniform with "Blue Jays" written on the front leaps into the air with both arms raised, celebrating with a teammate who is also raising his arms. The scene takes place on a field with a large, excited crowd in the background.

On this day in 1970, Pierre Laporte was murdered by the FLQ.
The Deputy Premier of Quebec, he was kidnapped a week earlier during the October Crisis. His body was found in the trunk of a car. In 1971, a stamp was issued in his honour. A bridge in Quebec is also named for him.

### Image Description
A black-and-white portrait photograph from the mid-20th century of a middle-aged man in a formal business suit, captured in a three-quarter view against a neutral gray background. He has a bald pate with neatly combed-over gray hair on the sides, prominent ears, deep-set eyes with a serious and contemplative expression, a broad nose, and thin lips pressed in a subtle, determined smile. He wears a white collared dress shirt, a dark striped tie knotted tightly, and a textured wool suit jacket with notched lapels, evoking a professional or executive demeanor typical of 1970s-era corporate headshots.
