Thank You, Bill Baker

Tonight I received quite a nice surprise
  So many comments, I was blinking my eyes

Bill Baker had so many encouraging things to say
  ~ As if he knew that today’s my 72nd birthday!




  Bill, you sure have gotten my year off to a 
                 wonderful start!

You have surely kick-started my #72 Bill, as it's still in its infancy. Appreciate all of your support and encouragement. Sunshine and Lollipops, Gershon

Ha, ha! I think you're right, Robert. I'm losing speed rapidly, so I imagine I'll see you passing me up any day now. 72, going on 71. ~ Forward into the past!

I didn't know today was your birthday, gw, or I would have said something sooner. Happy 72nd! May all good things come your way in the coming year. I'm about 8 years ahead of you, but not as wise as you are, my friend.
