HAPPY BIRTHDAY


Thought you were gonna' slide by when you hit the big five-oh huh?   Damn near did too. I was looking for something else and ran across this info and felt that a thread was needed for such an esteemed member........uh, I mean Gervase, not that his member is esteemed although I have no knowledge of that in any case.........anyway...........

Happy Birthday my friend.....sorry for my lack of timeliness...........and if you don't like it, just kiss my entire ass!

Pat, you're are an unmitigated swine. I was hoping to let it creep quietly by under the radar, and now you've outed me. As for kissing your entire ass - I pray that a platoon of hobnailed baboons decides to tapdance all over it!

Now that you've reached the bit FIVE-NUTHIN', isn't it time to start thinking about what you want to be when you grow up?

(But don't let thinkin' about it spoil the mood.)

John - who is a little past 50.

Thanks chaps.
But 'kind'? I resent that remark - I'm a crusty, irascible curmudgeon. It's my age; I'm allowed to be.
And as for when I grow up - well, there's precious little sign of that yet. Amazing to have had so many mid-life crises and still be in an arrested state of adolescence...

Geeziz kat.....That was NINE yeas ago.......and my opinion of Gervase has never wavered since. We were overwhelmed at how quickly and wonderfully Gervase responded to our need for Tris' "wheels."

So btw Gervase....Tris is now 17, doing a fabulous job in school, loved to death by his teachers, and a leader in his class. The Special Ed program has done a great job and he has come along a lot more than we would ever had dared to dream. This past year he worked at TWO different jobs in school and gained recognition at both his Hospital job and the other in a cardboard plant. Lots of folks around town know him well and he is continually trying to help anyone who asks. He will always require assistance in living but both Karen and I are confident that he will always do well and his life will be good. He still has that smile.

He only needed the wheels for a short time but they were a significant help and allowed a giant leap forward at a time when he needed to have the success they provided. That would have been impossible without your help. Once more.....Thank you.

You beat me to the landmark by three and a half months, but I am planning to stick to 49 ad infinitum

Being 50 isn't so bad- it seems to be popular enough anyway.
