7/31/2012: Happy 100th Birthday, Uncle Milton!!!
I invited some people, but for some reason, they had other plans.
I'm sure all of these people celebrated with their quiet voices.
Oh, and I got you a couple of cards . . .
CUTE designs, no?
Thanks for all that you and your followers have done these past 4 decades.

The evil that men do lives on long after they are dead.
