I believe the old man is 67 today! Happy Birthday, my friend.

Happy birthday to you!
Happy birthday to you!
Even though you're 67,
Marlo would've been 102.

(Actually he would have been 105, but it didn't rhyme).

Spoke to Jon today and I made a terrible mistake in his age ... he's 68! :)

It's an easy mistake to make. He looks like he's only 67.

You have me by a few, so Happy Birthday to You!
Life is a journey, so do not arrive at your grave safe and in a well preserved body. Enjoy the Ride!

Thanks for all the greetings.
Sorry my response is late. Believe it or not, I could not log on to the Forum (and I'm supposedly a Moderator)...There was no conspiracy, though...A miscommunication glitch.

One thing I realized was that RK is now older than I was when we met in Tannens...and his first words were Classic Early RK...His sentiments in regard to the subject then are still the same, proving that he is often steadfast and consistent. He made me grin then and he still does...which is a good thing...

He also showed me some illustrations he had drawn and I said, "Those are really good...Who knows? One day you may be a publisher of fine books and maybe will put out a magazine of your own...?"

I also remember Gene Maze nudging RK when I said it.

"Consider the responsibility, though..." I added.

RK has probably forgotten all of this...but this is probably due to the fact that his memory is fading faster than mine... <g>

Again, thanks to all...

Onward...
