On this Day in History: April 15th
On April 15, 1955 American fast-food pioneer Ray Kroc opened the first McDonald's franchise; he launched an enterprise that would eventually become the world's largest fast-food chain, in Des Plaines, Illinois.
Also, eighteen years ago in 2006 on April 15th, Marlee C. was brought into the world. She is one of our loving seniors here at CCA. Happy Birthday Marlee!
Another interesting thing that took place on April 15th is when the famous Leonardo da Vinci was born, in 1425. He was an Italian Artist, Engineer, and a Scientist. He became famous for his painting of The Mona Lisa. --By: Audrey F.
