"Rain Man's" 74 year Easter Celebration

                                                                                                   

                                                                       

                                                          The Rain Man

          On Easter Day we think of bunny rabbits and Easter eggs on grass covered hills where eggs roll down, meadow lands with humming bees, of love, roses, daffodils and a message from the tulips that say love to all of you from the bottom of my heart!

         My brother John Wallace lives next door to Rain Man. John and Rain Man were born in 1940 more than seventy four years ago, on Easter Sunday in Orem, Utah in the same hospital, and on the same day. Rain Man was popularized by Dustin Hoffman in the movie by the same name. Dustin often came to Orem while making the movie “Rain Man” to talk with Darley, (Rain Man) so as to help make the movie more authentic. Darley was just a person until Dustin heard about his ability to solve math problems. Since then Darley has become a mathematical associate professor at Brigham Young University in Provo in the Physics department, in collaboration with industry leaders to help prepare students in college and after College for successful work with world-class businesses like the Fortune 100 companies3 IBM and Cisco Hewlett Packard to develop degree programs that provide real-world knowledge. 

         John Michael Kiser, Dustin, writers, producers, Tom Cruise and others made the movie “Rain Man.” The rest is history. Darley became wealthy from the success of the movie and has since been on talk shows and public appearances ever since. Unlike the movie he is still in his wheel chair and plans to be with Dustin for a big 74 yr. B.D. celebration in Orem on Easter 2014. 

        The next time Easter will be this early (March 23) will be the year 2228 (220 years from now). The last time it was this early was 1913 (so if you're 95 or older, you are the only ones that were around for that!). The next time it will be a day earlier, March 22, will be in the year 2285 (277 years from now). The last time it was on March 22 was 1818. So, no one alive today has or will ever see it any earlier than this year!
