<DIV><FONT color=#000000 size=2>I would like to thank everybody who came to my
birthday party Saturday night, I had a fabulous time. I can not remember the
last birthday party I had, yes I know its hard to remember back to your
childhood when you reach 42, but my parents just weren't birthday party people
(lots of great presents but not really any parties). This made Saturday's party
especially special. Many thanks especially to my wife Jeanmaire and my two
squires Viviane and Azalais who seem to have pulled off a miracle, coordinating
a surprise party for me with most of the Barony, and keeping me from finding out
about it. </FONT></DIV>
