Happy Birthday fellow steamboatin' June 29thers - Daniel Hood, Pat Traynor, JoAnn Schoen, Tad Konecki, Dave Hardesty - who am I forgetting?
Happy Birthday to all of you (including Jazzou of course who forgot mentioning himself)!
Hope those who are on the July 1st DQ cruise were able to rearrange their travel plans to Chattanooga instead of Cincy and enjoy your cruise!
Carmen, Franz and Leonie
Jazzou, as an entertainer I feel sure you've noticed the phenomenon that when one patron requests "Happy Birthday", within minutes three or four more requests for the same tune come to the stand. This is as true for a crowd of twenty as for two hundred.
The weekend with River Friends for my birthday ranks right up there with the year I was in Colorado Springs and went to the top of Pikes Peak! First a ride on the BELLE of LOUISVILLE, then Judy's program at the Howard was great, followed by dinner with around 25 of my best friends at the Kingfish, topped off with another ride on the BELLE yesterday. Yep, life doesn't get any better! (Even if it does make me a year older).
So a belated Happy Birthday to all those other River/Steamboat Nuts that share my birthday.
Yes, Alan - and when all those requests are accompanied by a $20 bill, it's always a song an ivory tickler never tires of playing.
Many Happy Returns of the day to all of you!!
Steamcerely,
Linda & David Dewey
PS To celebrate, I will eat a piece of cake--It's a sacrifice, but someone's got to do it!
