Stella was born on June 29. Here are some other people with the same date:

• Antoine de Saint-Exupéry (b. 1900)  – French writer and aviator, mostly known for The Little Prince
• Zsigmond Móricz (b. 1879)  – Hungarian writer. Most of his novels and some of his stories are available here in Hungarian.
• Balázs Galkó (b. 1949) Hungarian actor –

Here are some historical events of the day, based on Wikipedia:

• 1613 – The Globe Theatre in London, England burns to the ground.
• 1888 – First (known) recording of classical music made, Handel’s Israel in Egypt on wax cylinder.
• 1974 – Isabel Perón is sworn in as the first female President of Argentina.

June 29 is celebrated as Veterans Day in The Netherlands, the first Apple iPhones went on sale on this day in 2007,  and Marilyn Monroe and Arthur Miller got married in 1956 on this day.

According to the Jewish calendar Stella’s birthday. Sivan 26, 5768. This makes her parasha Chukkat, Number 19:1-22:1.

According to the Hungarian tradition of namedays Stella’s namday can be celebrated on June 14, 15 or 19. I think I would like to pick June 15, because this year that was Father’s Day.
