January 20, 2006

To: Dearest Meg
Happy Birthday! From you I've learned more about glaciers, flowers and plants, volcanos, tidal flats, topographic maps reading, cat biology, and fondue making than I once would have thought possible. You are mi amor, and the most beautiful redhead I know. I love sharing life's adventures with you. So let's raise a birthday toast to some nerve-tingling ANWR grizzly adventures next summer! Love, Brian
—Brian Shott

To: Meg
Dearest Meg-- From you, I've learned everything I ever wanted to know about glaciers, volcanos, tidal flats, flowers and plants, topographic maps reading, and, last but not least, fondues. And I have loved every second of it. Can't believe that before we met, I knew nothing about these things. To the most beautiful redhead I know-- thanks for expanding my world, and happy Birthday. Let's toast to some grizzly adventures in ANWR this summer. Much love, Your husband Brian Shott
—Brian Shott

To: Rebecca & Brian
This one didn't bomb; we dedicate our December 7th anniversary (37 years) to all our pearls: Rebecca & Brian & our 9 grandchildren.
—Mitch & Joyce Duenow

To: Tanya
To my surpassing friend on the occasion of her wedding: Through all of your days together, I wish you and Mike unending joy and happiness. I can't wait to see you in Red Lodge (Montana), even if it means facing the fact that, as of January 28th, all the good women will be officially married. "Faithful and brave, go on your way, oh Candide!"
—John Kaschins (pronounced "cash-inns")

To: Marguerite Marben
Remember when I came home for Thanksgiving during my freshman year at Purdue in 1967? Your first question was " Aren't there any barbers in West Lafayette?" It is nearly 40 years later and Donna and I are back at Purdue for the broadcast of a Prairie Home Companion. Mary gave us tickets to the show for our Christmas gift. I am 56 now and finding a barber in West Lafayette is even less important today than it was in 1967. We are thankful you are back home from your stay in the care facility. Don't forget to do your exercises each day.
—Byron Marben
