On this day in 1877, Alexander Graham Bell had the first commercial telephone service installed, in Hamilton of all places too.
Also on this day in 1951 there was a Convention on the Status of Refugees. 50 years later the UN would officially declare that June 20th is World Refugee Day.
All the more poignant this year as we see what's going on overseas.
It was also on this day that the 1974 book by Peter Benchley made its way onto the film and spawned a huge franchise ...
...and probably fueled some more fears of sharks.
