Happy birthday Ray! I’m two days late as I attempted to add my photo on Thursday and I botched the procedure and deleted the whole thing. This is attempt #2 without a photo. You know what I look like anyway. No use in frightening your wife.

Congratulations on surviving another year! I’m in reasonably good health and I have a few good friends that I get together with weekly for coffee and BS. I took up trap shooting about three years ago and I miss more than I hit. A case of trap loads costs more than my weekly take home pay when I got married in 1970. It’s only money and I can afford it so why not?

Congratulations Bob. I got lucky the first time and I’m
too old to break a new one in.

It appears you’ve caught up
to me age wise. You seem to have as many birthday greetings as I get which is none. For some reason my birthday never comes up. I was going to ask what railroad you retired from but you weren’t that kind of engineer.

Happy birthday to my former Lincoln School locker mate. It was a pleasant surprise to see you at the Air and Space Museum when I was on the Honor Flight to DC.

Happy 76! It’s nice to know that not all my old friends are no longer among the living. I hope you and your wife are enjoying that new camping rig.

I’m a few days late on wishing you a “Happy Birthday” because I was holding off until my 75th which is today. You were a good fun friend back in the day. I hope you’re in good health.
