Leon,

thanks for the flowers... a date in bold should be the first mentioning of the date so the idea was to give a reader some sort of quick "eye catcher" that leads to a specific date (like a calendar entry) and then not put it in bold when subsequently used or when a date is used "out of sync" (e.g. when it comes to Say January 2nd, 1945, I would put that in bold but if I would then have a sentence later saying "up until January 25th..." I would not have put the latter in bold.
