An opportunity that couldn't be passed up is to let everyone know today is Bob's birthday.

I've corresponded with Bob since the early 1970s and had the pleasure to hear his voice on the phone many times.

Our visits together on the Florida Space Coast, every few years or so, were mostly when Bob would witness a shuttle launch. For days we would spend hours and hours visiting and talking about our favorite topic; astrophilately and space memorabilia!

During many occasions those hours "talking space" would have us way up into the late night hours.

Happy Birthday dear friend!

Happy Birthday Bob!

I have also enjoyed our e-mail "conversations" about collecting over the past couple of years...and look forward to the opportunity to finally meet you in person this autumn.

Happy Birthday Bob! I've had the pleasure of corresponding with Bob for a good number of years now. There's quite a few items in my collection that I'd never have gotten if it hadn't been for your help and generosity... thank you my friend, you're one of the real GENTLEMEN in this hobby!!

Happy Birthday Bob (sorry it's a day out).

Hope you had a great day.

I know it's been a while since we last corresponded. Thanks again for helping me out in the past with the FDC etc. I've never forgotten the help with that. All the best,

Thanks everyone! It was a nice birthday and your kind words (blush) made it even better. As we get older, the birthdays come faster and the years add up faster - Bob.

A bit late, but still, hope you had a great birthday. Better slow down before you catch up with me!
