The following is dedicated to my lifelong friend Wally Clark who is having a birthday today. Once again for a few months Wally will be older than me, the “senior partner” in our life long friendship. But not to worry Wally, soon I will be just as “old” as you, and hopefully as wise.
Happy Birthday my friend . . . Alan
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A man’s age is something impressive,
it sums up his life; maturity reached slowly
and against many obstacles, illnesses cured,
griefs and despairs overcome, and
unconscious risks taken; maturity formed
through so many desires, hopes, regrets,
forgotten things, loves. A man’s age
represents a fine cargo of experiences and
memories.

Beautiful dedication to your friend Alan, I am sure it pleased him no end. I have to tell you I was 96 in December, can you believe it has been 6 years since we were together for my 90th? I feel probably 60 but look my age, as we are supposed to I presume. Love, Jennie
