Yes! Gail, thank you for so beautifully describing how we all feel. You're not far away at all.

Dear Doc and everyone,
I missed all the birthday excitement because as you may have seen on CNN we've had big doings in London and as a result had more people in and out of our flat than usual. Doc, my favorite moment of the whole reunion was the little toast your grandson gave in which he declared, 'I have the best grandfather in the whole world!' He hit the nail on the head: the many greetings and warm wishes coming to you are a reflection of the families you have headed--we are all your children and grandchildren, too, and we have been given a legacy that will never fade.
Belated happy birthday to you, Doc. And know that, far away as I am, I'm toasting you, too.
Love to you and to all my brothers and sisters, Gail ________________________________________ From: weeklong-l-bounces@lists.wikimedia.org [weeklong-l-bounces@lists.wikimedia.org] On Behalf Of Clay Stromberger [cstromberger@mail.utexas.edu] Sent: 25 March 2011 23:41 To: weeklong-l@lists.wikimedia.org Subject: Re: [Weeklong-l] Happy Birthday, Doc!
Our turn down here to be jealous of a get-together -- hey, send a photo of you all taken at dusk with the Brooklyn skyline twinkling in the background, would ya...?! Have a great time and we'll try to time the lifting of a glass down here to approximately sync up. If Maggie Mike David and all the West Coasters do the same it'll be a triple-coast toast to Doc -- and Craig on the shores of Lake Michigan makes four...

Happy Birthday, Doc! We New Yorkers will indeed be raising a Brooklyn Lager or two in your honor tonight. In celebration, I've also uncorked (ok, actually just unscrewed the cap of) a fine chardonnay from the Plump Jack vineyard in California, and so we'll certainly be wishing you a happy birthday with our usual Falstaffian gusto.
Best, Bob

How great it is that it's your birthday, Doc! Friday is always a good day for birthdays.
Like someone else here, I had the impression your birthday was in April, but of course that was Shakespeare. Easy mistake to make.
I'm a little troubled to realize that when Shakespeare was my age, he'd been dead for two years.
