Looking Ahead

Most people don't know that back in 1912, Hellmann's mayonnaise was manufactured in England. In fact, the Titanic was carrying 12,000 jars of the condiment scheduled for delivery in Vera Cruz, Mexico, which was to be the next port of call after its stop in New York. But the great ship hit an iceberg and sank, and the cargo was forever lost. The people of Mexico, who were crazy about mayonnaise, were disconsolate at the loss.

Their anguish was so great, that they declared a National Day of Mourning, celebrated each year on May 5th and is known as Sinko de Mayo. A happy May to all, and cele brate the flowering of our parks.
