Happy Birthday Gil!

Hope you had a great one.
Thanks, Jan!

Good so far. I worked yesterday. Afterward I ran a hot air engine for my 6 month old granddaughter.

This evening my family is taking me to a good italian restaurant.

Happy Birthday & my very best wished Gill!  Thank you so very much for starting the forum up for us, I can't say enough how much joy & help the Office of Stream forums has brought me!

As an example, a brand new member (steammy) reached out to me just last night for some of my 3.5mm glass tubing for his Weeden engines.  Without the forums he'd likely would not have been able to connect to me for his request.  While this is a example of me being help another collector, there are soooo many more examples where members of this forum has helped me.

So again, thank you and to the wonderful members of this forum!  I hope you have the best 73'rd birthday and you have many more!

PS:  though I am sad my Empire collection photo has been knocked off the top banner LOL
Thanks, Rich!

It's the best 73rd I've ever had...LOL

Hey Gil

So sorry I missed wishing you a Happy B-day last month. I was gone for a couple of weeks during that part of the month so completely missed it ... dang!

Hope it was a great day for you and one heck of a good party ..... being that I missed it, it probably was!!!
