A HAPPY BIRTHDAY whistle salute to calliopist extraordinaire Travis Vasconcelos today! I won't disclose his age, but he's a decade younger than yours truly! All the best to the "Wizard of the Whistles"!

Travis,

Jonathan and I also want to wish you a very happy birthday! Perhaps Jonathan can burn you a CD of the music we talked about during our all-too-brief visit on May 20th. At any rate, our warmest wishes for a wonderful day.

Likewise, Happy Birthday, Travis, from the banks of the Penobscot, where, unfortunately, there are no calliopes, but come visit anyway!

And good wishes from way out Californ'y way too!!
And since it is Calif., I will "beam" the playing of "Happy Birthday" on the calliope for you--you can even imagine that I can play the right notes!!!
Steamcerely,
Linda & David Dewey

And good wishes from here in Macon, GA, where our little river is full of sand bars, in this year of drought, and nobody has even heard of a calliope. But I have!

Have a great day!!

Hey, Travis, the next time you are in Cincinnati, let's take a party across the river to the sternwheeler P. A. DENNY so you can play her calliope again. I used to play it by pushing a button in the pilot-house. But you can play it the way it was meant to be.

And we'll add our best wishes from the mountains of New York (not far from the Hudson River and Robert Fulton's Clermont).

Thank you one and all for the wonderful birthday wishes. It is always heart-warming to hear from my river friends on the special days in my life and theirs as well! Look forward to seeing you all on the river, soon!

From the banks of the burbling South Platte River, c. 850 miles or so above navigation, happy birthday to you, dear Travis, with love, from me, Miss Helen, and the rest of the Prater clan. And happy Fathers' Day as well! Hope you are doing something wonderful with your dad and that nifty son of yours to celebrate.
