A Little Birthday Mixup

My parents couldn't exactly remember when I was born and my birth certificate was lost. So, until my early teens when my parents finally ordered a copy of my birth certificate (I was born in Bloomington, IL so no, I'm not Normal...Ohhh, Google it :-) we celebrated my birthday in cycles. One year the on the 24th, the next on the 25th and the next on the 26th. Then the cycle would start all over again.

When I was 17 I had to have my birth certificate for some reason or other so I spent $2.50 (a lot of money back then) to get a reproduction of my birth certificate from the Bloomington, IL  courthouse. Low and behold, I was born on June 26, 1952 at 1:00 AM.
