Happy Birthday Bob and thanks for all you've done for stripers!
and as far as being a "spectacle" ,yeah it's sad that we get old (if we're lucky)and the machinery breaks down a little, but Bob wanted to be there.He and his wife Avis both had a good time.When I gave Bob the book Eric Burnley just dedicated to him he and Avis held hands and smiled from ear to ear,and that sight will be with me forever.
