Happy birthday Vern!

My thanks to you and Gleda for creating a company whose products have given me many decades of enjoyment.

Go easy on the birthday cake.

Thanks for the birthday wishes. Gleda had to get up about three this morning, came back to bed, woke me up, and said Happy Birthday, I just wanted to be first. I muttered OK, turned over and went back to sleep. I would have been happy to wait a few hours.

Hope to see you at rocket meets this year as we celebrate 60 years sharing our common interest. -- Vern

Happiest of birthdays, Vern. Getting to meet you in Seattle was a highlight of my rocket career.
