(Please read at the St Paul Show on 1/19) Bill, Lynne, Sarah, John, and Nancy offer their love and best birthday wishes to Denie, our newly minted 70 year old family curmudgeon - the best kind of lawyer; not dead but at least he is retired. We're all back in the old home town at this very show celebrating his amazing longevity.
