Happy birthday, tomorrow. I hope things are now going better for you. Best wishes, always.

Happy birthday, Frances. Some people might wonder who you are, but I see you joined the site as a guest - and former wife of Barry Parker. Best wishes.

Dan, I see you have a birthday coming up, That's great news. We all should continue having them. I hope everything is going well with you, your family and your horses. I miss the old place on Sentry Post Road, coming into my office every morning and passing by yours - and Tom Sharts. Tom went off to the Pacific Ocean about ten years ago, got married and now has a wife and kids. He's still teaching in a college as far as I know. But those were great days. I know Danny is taking care of the business. I see him on Face Book now. I hope today's current issue don't affect business - but if it does, we will recover. Take care, good friend.

Hey Ronnie. I see you have a birthday coming up. You're still looking good in your old age. I hope you find yourself in good health and continue to enjoy life. Best wishes, always.

Happy birthday Linda Putnam Dilling! Best wishes to you and Don. During these trying times, life can still be joyful if we all work together. Be positive, hopeful, and prayerful and life will be as good as it always has.

Happy birthday Martha. Glad you are still around and as Bill Forbes likes to day, "Staying on this side of the grass." Best wishes always to a great and beautiful person.

Happy birthday young man. You have now joined the club of Octogenarians. Enjoy life - and keep on living. Best wishes to you always.

Happy birthday and best wishes always for a really good person, great friend, and talented entertainer. Gene, because of your positive attitude, strong belief system, and great support from Rachel, and prayers from friends, you are now celebrating a birthday that you once never thought you might see. God gave you the strength and support. None of us, now, all over 80, know when that moment might come, but when it does we will know and understand the rewards. "May the blessings of heaven rest upon you all of your life."

Jon, Happy Birthday to a really good person. I'm sure everyone in the Class of '57 shares the same. Knowing you these past twelve years, especially, is to validate the predictions and views that we all held of you when in high school. Best wishes for the future.

Happy birthday, Vickie. Have not heard from you in a while. I hope everything is okay. The Class of '57 is celebrating you today.

Reggie, Happy Birthday to a great guy. Everyone in the Class of '57 wish you a happy birthday and a great life ahead. We that remain are a very fortunate group of people. I sincerely hope this message finds you and your family in good health - and happy.

John, I noticed that last year I was a day or two late in saying Happy Birthday - so I am going to be a day or two early this year (I have some medical appointments the next two days and will be away from my computer). It was good to see you last week in spite of it being at Esther's funeral. However, you sure are looking well and we are all happy about that. Thanks for your help when my legs gave way to the spinal stenosis. Best wishes always to you and your family. Bill Forbes and I are planning some mini-reunions in the future and hope you will be able to join us. It was really nice to see so many of our classmates turn out for Esther's service. She was truly one of the nicest people on earth. Again, best wishes, David

There are some people that we encounter in life that we somehow think of as invincible. I first met Esther Adams when I attended Sunday School at First Presbyterian Church in Gastonia, right after my family moved to Gastonia when I was in the third grade. She always impressed me as one of those invincible people. Perhaps part of it was because she was always taller than I. But all through the years I found that she was indefatigable as well as smart - but always friendly, joyful, prankish, and kind. She will be sorely missed by all that knew her.

Lane, I see you have a birthday coming up in a couple of days. I sincerely hope all is well with you. Best wishes for the year and always.

Happy birthday, Robert. Yes, I know this is a day or so early, but I have to take time out from my busy schedule and write notes like this on the weekends. (Just joking.)
