Tuesday, 16 January, 1962, The Frances Hubbard Diaries

Tuesday, 16 January, 1962, The Frances Hubbard Diaries
Sunny, windy, 20's.  Went over to Mother's for dinner.  Bought car license and made out blank for mine that was lost.  Got generator for tractor at Mary's.
Comment:  Not sure where or what Mary's is.....interesting she used "blank" for "form", guess that works......with all the crap going on with Bill Cosby, this was a very sad day for him back in 1997...his son was killed by a trio of druggies.....
On this day in 1997, comedian and TV star Bill Cosby's 27-year-old son Ennis Cosby is murdered after he stops to fix a flat tire along California's Interstate 405 in Los Angeles. The 405, which runs some 70 miles from Irvine to San Fernando, is known as one of the planet's busiest and most congested roadways. Construction began on Interstate 405 in the late 1950s, with the first section opening in the early 1960s.
At approximately 1 a.m. on January 16, 1997, Ennis Cosby, a graduate student in special education at Columbia University Teachers College who was on vacation in Los Angeles, was driving a Mercedes-Benz convertible on Interstate 405 when he pulled off to Skirball Center Drive to change a flat tire. A Ukrainian-born teenager, Mikhail Markhasev, and two friends were at a nearby park-and-ride lot using the phone. Markhasev, reportedly high on drugs, approached Cosby to rob him but when Cosby took too long to hand over money he was shot and killed. Ennis Cosby was the third of Bill Cosby's five children and said to be the inspiration for the character of Theo Huxtable on the hit TV sitcom "The Cosby Show," which originally aired from 1984 to 1992.
