In a proud statement issued from their
company headquarters, Corner Pizza announced that 2001 is the 5th
Anniversary of the founding of their business.
The company was started back in 1996, the
same year that Atlanta, GA hosted the biggest ever Summer Olympics.In a most touching moment, Muhammad Ali lit the Olympic
flame.The United States won the
most medals in a non-boycotted Olympics, a total of 101.Michael Jordan led the men to gold in men’s basketball.Karri Strug with an injured ankle made her second vault to gain enough
points for the U.S. to win the women’s team gymnastics gold.
What Else Happened in 1996?
A pair of cloned sheep were revealed in
Edinburgh, Scotland.Megan and
Morag were genetically identical.
Researchers in California succeeded in
transmitting a trillion bits of information through an optic fiber, the
equivalent of 12 million simultaneous phone calls.
Death claimed entertainment greats:
Comedian George Burns, at the age of 100, the first lady of jazz, Ella
Fitzgerald and song and dance man Gene Kelly.
Yes, when you think about it, things have
changed a lot in 5 years.But after
all this time there are some things which have remained the same.
One good thing is that Corner Pizza is
still around and thriving after 5 years of hard work and lots of dedication by
everyone involved…and most importantly, caring about customers who helped us
reach this milestone.
