hey there, say, largo... i dont rightly know you... just from here.... but i sure KNOW how to say happy birthday to all you neat folks here...

happy birthday and enjoy your family...

bodacius birthday wishes john long.
largo piled into a little brown bug with my gal plus me one fall. taquitz to josh, he spent a few days trying to dust me off, barrelling from one imperative to the next. when john thrusts that pointed end at you, one turns and delivers.
i earned a nice nod from the man. a startup guide service was just compiling a brochure that included a long list of names that are my heros to this day. no follow up on my part, but my name looked good in print next to those folks. thanks for the acknowledgement john.
i don't expect you to remember me, but when i get to scannerville, i'll post a pic of the lady, you do remember her. that'll be my gift to you, 31 years hence.
keep forging on at the front of the pack old man

Johnny,
Hoh, man. Your daughters are gorgeous.
Phil G mentions Granite Mountain. Remember that Lightning Crack we climbed with Richard? I wonder if Phil was there that day? We need to go back and find that thing and see if it was as scary as we remember it. Probably pretty tame, in retrospect.
See you soon.
Rick

John -
Remember talking that tourist in street shoes up the problem in 4? I looked away knowing he would crater - your enthusiasm (& inspired coaching) saved the day!
How about drinking whatever that was in the bulls foot with the crew that night in Santa Monica?
Proud father!
Best to ya - keep on!
