It's Dads birthday tomorrow, the 27th., he has sworn me to secrecy regarding his age. Dad has always loved his trade, travels all over the world just to be at a Letterheads meet, loves to pass on any "tricks of the trade" that he has learnt over his extensive time in the trade. Whenever you have the chance to spend time with a person of great talent, take the time to listen or watch them as they work at their craft. These tradesman of old are like our Jedi Knights, my Dad reminds me of Yoda, always trying to help us improve on our abilities. If ever you need to have a good laugh, when you see Dad ask him about the swinging stage job that we worked on at CSR. I thought it was funny. So it's a great big HAPPY BIRTHDAY DAD and "may the Force be with you" Love Paul

Happy Birthday John, it has been my pleasure to know you, and looking forward to seeing you in Canada. We are very lucky to have you as a member of the Letterheads. I had to travel all the way to England to meet you the first time.
