Scope and content
Bremerton dentist Dr. Renus Bender double checked the calendar, making sure that it was set for his ninth birthday, February 29, 1936. Although he was forty years old, he was born during a leap year, on a date that only rolls around every four years. Dr. Bender was born in Manette on February 29, 1896. His birthday was so rare that in the 20,527 births registered in Kitsap County from 1890-1936, his was the only birth on February 29th. (Bremerton Sun 02/28/1936, pg. 1).
