Updated Timeline

[updated again on March 27 to end the timeline in 1939 for now]
[updated to correct another typo, I probably need to figure out how to translate initials to longer names, but . . . for now I'll continue the obscurity.]

I'm trying to sort out if there is a good way to incorporate a timeline into a blog. So far, the tools I've heard of are beyond my coding skills, so for now I'm just pasting from a Word Table, it looks okay, but not that great.  I think I'll just periodically include updated timelines as I add more dates, but . . . perhaps I'll discover a more clever approach sometime.
