<p style="margin-bottom:8pt;line-height:115%;" class="ydpdcb89816yiv2163917447MsoNormal">Ok, last week I got an email from Alisa Oyler that her mother, Marilyn Oyler, is turning 80 in April. She asked me if I would send her a card listing a particular gift she brought to the world
or at least a card. No problem- her mom is full of gifts.<u></u><u></u></p>
<p style="margin-bottom:8pt;line-height:115%;" class="ydpdcb89816yiv2163917447MsoNormal">And then this morning John Patterson called me up looking for an email address. We chatted and he let me know that his 80<sup>th</sup> birthday was April 22, Earth Day. It is just like John to
have his birthday on the most important day of the year.<u></u><u></u></p>
<p style="margin-bottom:8pt;line-height:115%;" class="ydpdcb89816yiv2163917447MsoNormal">I think it is part of the Order Rule that we send anybody who makes it to 80 a card holding up a gift. Well, at least a card. I just sent John a card that said, “I looked all over Chicago for
an 80th birthday card, but nothing. This is as close as I could get- Happy 90<sup>th</sup> birthday- something to grow into!”<u></u><u></u></p>
