Where/how did you learn about this lucky man? I was entranced with all the stories.

Yes! Please enter me into the karma! And thanks!

Apparently a family with one-letter names! Happy Birthday Mr. T., and many more! If you ever publish your memoires, I'd be delighted to read them.

And all the best to Q. as well, someone who stands out even in the outstanding group of folks we have here.

Thank you for allowing us to know a little about your dad. Sounds like it has been quite interesting and exciting to have him around. Please count me in and it's an honor to wish such a man a Happy 102nd.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY to your father! What an amazing life he has led. Also thank you but no need for the karma.

A young person sees the world as a still picture, immutable. An old person has had his nose rubbed in changes and more changes and still more changes so many times that that he knows it is a moving picture, forever changing. He may not like it--probably doesn't; I don't--but he knows it's so, and knowing is the first step in coping with it."

Happy birthday, Mr. T!
And thank you, Dr. T (heh) for all you do here. Please do not enter me in the karma for this wonderful carbine.

Thanks for the fascinating story, and Happy Birthday Mr. T! As they say, truth is stranger than fiction.
I would like to enter the Karma for the fun of it.

An outstanding man! Wow! I hope to make it that long. Thank you for sharing a bit about your Dad. You guys are obviously close and it makes me smile. Mine went on to the next world when I was 8, so hearing about relationships like this is inspiring. I hope my kids look at me this way when I'm older. Seriously, thanks.
