Timeline Last Modified July 29, 1998

This timeline attempts to cover the major events in GL's entire history, but it is sketchy in many places.

Most of the information for 1937-1985 was taken from Christopher Schemering's 50-year anniversary book about GL. I have tried to include important milestones, such as arrivals, marriages, births, divorces & deaths.

The rest is based on my memory & files and the memories & files & old magazines of lots of other GL fans on RATS/RATSC and the GL discussion list (especially Wendy, Dave D., Sheila, Shelby, Ella, Joan, Diane W., Dale, Anja, Ray, Shawn, Lil, Pat C., CBD, Maike, Toni). Guiding Light: The Complete Family Album, by Julie Poll and Caelie M. Haines, has also been helpful for confirming some timeline events.

If you see anything out of order, or you know a more exact date than the one given in the timeline, please let me know. Also, if you know the date of a significant event not included in this timeline, please let me know so I can add it. Please state your source (e.g., old updates, old tapes, magazine article, "it happened at the same time as/right before/right after ___"). I'll update the timeline periodically with whatever new information I receive.

A Few Questions:

When exactly were the following characters introduced?

• Trish Lewis (Sometime in 1981 before October -- what month?)
• Johnny Bauer (Sometime in 1986 -- what month?)

When & how were the following characters written off?

• Gordon Middleton (went back to his hometown sometime in 1979; does anyone have a more exact date?)
• Kyle Sampson (sometime in 1987, in a plane crash? Can anyone confirm or give a more precise date?)

When did Josh & Annie get engaged for the first time?

(I know it was sometime between 1/13/95 and 3/7/95.)
