23 Anniversaries of this Special Day

Since the March 21st, one day after a blizzard, when a very special farm boy was born to a family eager for his arrival.

All but one of the other 22 anniversaries he has been here to share the day. I'm sure some of them were more exciting than others, as is the case for pretty much anyone.

This year, he is far away, working, I believe, on this project.

Because his little red truck is a bit shaky in the rear end he hasn't made the ten-hour one way drive home in well over a month. This has required some adjustments for all involved, but everyone has soldiered along as best they could.

I would much appreciate it if you would join us in wishing Alan a happy 23rd birthday today. I'm sure he would be grateful and I certainly would too.
