You inspire a lot of people with your boundless energy, Bill. And yer' not so bad with a brush either. My hero . . . Happy 79th (right?) good sir, and many more to come.
One of the greats . . .

Happy Birthday to you Bill, & it was very nice to meet you at the Zoo!
I felt so humbled & blessed to be sitting with all of you "excellent" signmen! I was pretty quiet. Do you remember this Bill?
The top one is John Jordan, Bill, & Don Ecklund, & the bottom pic is Bill, Don Ecklund, Kent Smith, Brian Briskie, John Jordan, Sonny Franks, & I don't remember who the guy on the far side behind Sonny was.
Imagine that, just me (nobody-Bobbie in my tiny shop in PA) getting to sit at that table & right between John Jordan & Sonny Franks! What a special time it was, & I will never forget it!
Hope these come out ok, I am scanning them from hard copies...
