Tuesday 7-August is Ty's 18th birthday, that will be just 10 days before he moves into the dorm at Georgia Tech. What to you get for an 18 year old? He has all the fishing stuff you could possibly imagine and soon that won't be of any use anyway. Happy Birthday Ty. Hunted for historical information on this day and found:
On August 7, 1957 Norvell Hardy, comedy actor died from a cerebral thrombosis. A member of the comedic team Laurel and Hardy. Norvell Hardy was born in the farm town of Harlem, Georgia on January 18, 1892. Around 1910, he started using the name Oliver Norvell Hardy, and became manager of the first movie house in Milledgeville, Georgia, called the Electric Theater. This is where Hardy caught the acting bug. Norvell Hardy appeared in 270 films without Stan Laurel, one of these being the 1925 version "The Wizard of OZ" in which he was the farmhand and tin woodsman in producer Larry Semon's film failure.
