Additional Information

Star Trek began as a television series and has since become one of the most popular science-fiction franchises. Set in the 23rd century, the series follows the adventures of the crew aboard the starship USS Enterprise, who are tasked with exploring space for new life and civilizations. Their mission began after the Vulcans, an advanced and benevolent alien species, gave humanity the technology to travel faster than light. The crew frequently encounter other alien species such as the belligerent Klingons. Despite the original series only spanning from 1966-1969, its popularity sparked a number of spin-off series and movies that continue to the present day.

Doctor Leonard McCoy is one of the crew members on board the USS Enterprise, serving as a physician, psychologist, biologist, and the chief medical officer. He is played in the original series by DeForest Kelley.

In 1938, The Union Commerce Bank, originally known as the Union Bank of Commerce, was founded in Cleveland, Ohio. Post-World War II, the bank changed its name, added more services, and expanded its reach to serve the newly created suburbs, eventually numbering over 40 branches. In 1949, the bank moved into the Union Trust Building located in downtown Cleveland. The bank endured financial troubles in the 1960s-1970s and ultimately was acquired by a larger Columbus-based company, Huntington Bancshares, in 1983.

Smurfs are happy, little woodland beings created by Belgian writer/illustrator Pierre “Peyo” Culliford (1926-1992). First introduced in the comic series Johan and Peewit in 1958, the Smurfs quickly grew in popularity gaining their own title in 1959, and a Belgian animated series that ran from 1961-1967. The Smurf’s breakthrough came with the introduction of the Smurfs to the American audience with the Hanna-Barbera cartoon Smurfs. Smurfs ran from 1981-1990, and cemented the adorable blue-skinned characters in American pop-culture lore. The Smurfs have since been featured in three full-length movies, as well as two animated short features. The Smurfs have made their triumphant return to television with a CGI animated series released in Belgium in May, 2021, and subsequently released in the United States in September, 2021, on Nickelodeon.

In 1984, the democratic presidential ticket featured the first female candidate for a major political party. Walter Mondale (1928-2021) selected the three-term New York Congresswoman Geraldine Ferraro (1935-2011) as his vice-presidential running mate in an effort to shake up the system and gain ground on the Republican incumbents of Reagan and Bush.

Ultimately, Mondale and Ferraro were defeated soundly carrying only Mondale’s home state of Minnesota and Washington D.C., making it one of the worst electoral college losses in U.S. history.
