65??? No way!
I just finished reading all local newspaper websites and realized how depressing this economy news is and thought I'd pop over here to read something upbeat.

Happy Birthday and many more!

O.J.
Happy Birthday. I wish I could have been there.
You have fought for "Truth, Justice and good life" for all, SUPERMAN........ Everyone of your projects were ahead of there time. Thanks for all the projects and thanks for always being a positive "BUZZ" for the community. I couldn't have done what I have without your support. I think alot of other people could say the same.
Your not getting older, your getting better.
Happy Happy Birthday.
Terry
