"I have bought golden opinions from all sorts of people." (Macbeth)

OK. It's the day after; I'm on the road to four score and cinco. I was blessed with getting a slew of cards from friends and relations; and phone calls and e-cards. I was amazed at getting e-cards from a few former students from at least 30 years ago and I would like to share some with you:
Happy 84th, Doc, I enjoy your blog for no other reason than plain expression is so rare.
Bob Fox

I just got home from work --- all day thinking of you, but could not call.
Thought how lucky I am that I got to meet you a long time ago - and how many beautiful things (and people) you brought into my life!
I wish you a very good 84th year, with all my heart!
Happy Birthday!
Lots of love and hugs and kisses,
Magda Machado

You didn't think I'd forget your birthday, did you?
Birthdays, should be all about fond memories. Thinking of you on any day always brings me a flood of them, whether it's your birthday or just another day. So, Happy Birthday and Love for all your other days.

God! I love these "kids"....But now I have to get my breakfast...it's 12 noon...be back soon...don't go away...+
OK. I'm back and while I was away having my nova and cream cheese on half a bagel, Jon (Rho's son) wrote a lovely and obviously sincere comment which I certainly appreciate. (Check it out by clicking on "Comments" at the very end of the blog.). Jon is one great "kid"; well, actually he's 40+. He spent 10 years in the Navy and since his discharge he's been living and working in Norfolk.
Rhoda has just returned from all her errands; her errands are ubiquitous and infinite, and after she finishes her lunch we are going to visit some scooters that I am being forced to buy if I want to get more than 50 yards from the building. Stick around for a report on that....

Isn't it nice to know that you have touched so many people in positive ways during your life. That is the best testament to a life well lived. You have shaped and molded young adults in such a way that they have turned into better adults. The fact that they remember you so many years later is the true greatness that your life has been well lived.
