MILESTONES: January 17, birthdays for Michelle Obama, Zooey Deschanel, Jim Carrey
Greetings, Brooklyn. Today is the 17th day of the year.
On this day in 1925, the Brooklyn Daily Eagle front page published the obituary of former Court of Appeals Chief Judge Willard Bartlett, one of the highly regarded judges of his time. Bartlett, who lived on Pierrepont Street, had just retired two years prior.
