Gary, on your 75th birthday
Best wishes from Burlington, Ontario; where you started out on your career.
From celebrating New Year's Eve in 1960 in Burlington, to celebrating New Year's Eve in 2010 in Calgary, that's a lot of time spanned.
From Burlington to Calgary, from Scottsdale to Hilton Head and Charleston, South Carolina, and all through the Caribbean Islands, that's a lot of ground covered.
We've shared a lot, and it's always the same old Gary; the deep voice and the ironic sense of humour. Spoiling your kids, while we were tough-loving ours, and still our friendship survived. Memories of the cowboy from the West running through our neighbourhood in a red Speedo, while your kids and ours laid no claim to knowing who the "flasher" was.
Whether helping you through a crossword, or letting you sandbag me in a Nassau, there's always the underlying sense of humour.
Best wishes go out to you from your oil-starved friends in the East (Do we still have to "suck up" to get the oil?).
Noel and Carol Thomas
Burlington, Ontario
