Thirty seven years ago in a hospital in California I was given a marvelous gift. My son John was born, and it has been a privilege to see him grow from that tiny tot to the marvelous man who has been a wonderful role model for me. He has grown into a marvelous husband, father,son ,brother,friend and all around terrific human being. He will be embarrassed by my words because by nature he is unassuming and humble. I wish him a wonderful year filled with the joy and meaning he has already brought to so many of us.
