Happy birthday to the bestest ski partner and friend a guy could have. At 65 he's proof that you're never too old to learn new stuff and an inspiration to us all. Hope it's a good one buddy. ------------- When people run down to the lake to see what's making that noise, you've succeeded. Eddie |

Well you all are a day early and totally beat me to the punch of having the first post/birthday greeting for my "little" brother...I was poised to be prompt at the stroke of twelve!! Yes ...the "Bear" goes on Medicare!! One of those milestone birthdays that we all do so look forward to...NOT!! Sure beats the alternative though and John is doing fabulous for a "Senior Citizen"!! Seriously, I could not ask for a better brother and friend than John; been ski buddies for going on fifty [50!] years and he has long passed me up as both a 'footer and human being. We all know John's deep devotion to family and friends...and there are few he fails to call "friend". That's a "biggie" when you are central Florida's official host and tour guide of all the great ski lakes!! Have a great day John....on Tuesday...the 26th!! I guess I don't mind being beat out seeing as how it was Eddie that was #1!! ------------- Bill http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=5549 - 98Air Nautique Former Owner: 1990 Ski Nautique 1981 Ski Nautique 1976 Ski Nautique 1971 Ski Nautique |

Sorry to steal your thunder Bill. I even got a text from HW asking if I knew his B-Day was the 26th...LOL. I did but knew if I waited, all the insomniacs would have been posting at 12:01!!!! Just goes to show what a true friend he is to virtually everybody he meets. Just keep him away from tools. ------------- When people run down to the lake to see what's making that noise, you've succeeded. Eddie |

Had to get my computer guru son to help me reconfigure my computer during the last two evenings. I know you can appreciate that John! Tried to post this picture of the two of us, at the St. John's River Run, earlier today. Finally got this computer issue figured out. Happy Birthday!
